Bundaberg)

The way points of this bicycle route:

Bundaberg Airport

Start. The Isis Highway can be busy at times, however the road has a very wide verge which makes it reasonably safe for cyclists.

Turn right at the Cedars Crossing Sign

Turning off the Isis Highway heading for South Kolan. This back road is used as a short cut by many, so be mindful of traffic at busy times.

Hang onto your hat

One of the steepest downhill sections around Bundaberg. A good place to see how fast you can go, but do take care.

Single Lane Traffic Bridge

There is a give way sign at the far end of the bridge as it is only built for single lane traffic. Make sure any approaching traffic has seen you before crossing the bridge.

Rest on the edge of the Burnett River

The is an area at the side of the ride where you can stop and stretch. Some nice views of the river.

What comes down must go back up

A relatively steep climb back up from the river. Pick a low gear and you should be able to ride to the top.

Bundaberg does have some hills

There are a few ups and downs between here and South Kolan, so take your time and you should make it through.

South Kolan Pub

The South Kolan Pub is on the corner. Turn right onto the Bundaberg Gin Gin Rd. Some sections of this road have blind corners and no verge, so be prepared to get off the road quickly if drivers take risks on corners.

South Kolan

The tiny township of South Kolan. There is a service station here, but its not too far to the Sharon Gorge rest area.

Sharon Gorge Rest Area

Sheltered tables, BBQ and Toilets in a well kept rest area. The walk through the gorge starts here (15-20 minute walk). Stop and have lunch while your here.
