Coasts to the Outback 'Hill'

The sydney region coastline combined with an iconic outback experience showcases the diversity of what a motorcycle adventure in australia is all about..

Let's go! From Sydney we’ll ride down the south coast past so many beautiful beaches you’ll never be able to remember them all. Later in the day, on arguably the best roads anywhere, we’ll end up in Kangaroo Valley in the Southern Highlands. Our second day is a perilous and dramatic ride – The Blue Mountains with its spectacular views and a Jenolan Caves night tour end our second day. Fear not though, our local knowledge and expertise will make this a great day for all.

From Jenolan we head west on an epic two-day ride to Broken Hill. A few long days in the saddle will soon get into ‘the spirit of the outback’ as we see the land get flatter the further west we go. Broken Hill is a real treat with so much to see and do. Mad Max and Pricilla Queen of the Desert were both filmed out here. There’s the Royal Flying Doctors and School of the Air to visit as well as Silverton, Mundi Mundi Plains, the Sculpture Park at sunset and the Living Desert. There’s also mining exhibits, Aboriginal artworks as well as many iconic pubs with interesting locals you'll get the opportunity to have a ‘yarn’ with.

On our way back to the coast we’ll pass through many interesting little towns, travel on roads built for motorcycle riding and taste some Hunter Valley wines as good as you’ll get anywhere in the world. Once back on the coast at Nelson Bay we’ll see even more spectacular Aussie beaches as we ride through to Newcastle City and on to Terrigal for our last night together.

On our last day we’ll visit the Australian Reptile Park to see deadly spiders and snakes as well as kangaroos, koalas, wombats, parrots and much more unique Australian wildlife. Our last afternoon will be spent riding along Sydney’s Northern Beaches and crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, before returning our steel horses and having a farewell dinner with new found friends, followed by a well-earned rest.

View the route on google maps  to confirm why you chose this remarkable beaches and outback tour.

This tour averages 360km a day on ride days.

Best Motorcycle tours for the mature and senior traveller.

This is the time for that motorcycle trip you may have dreamt about becoming a reality.Odyssey Traveller offers you the opportunity to ride through some of the most amazing landscapes in the planet, whilst participating one one of our small group tours for mature and senior travellers.

These are self guided motorcycle tours into the depths of the states of Australia. There are two types of offering for the mature and senior traveller.

The Self guided tour for the mature traveller.

You can enjoy your own motorcycle adventure based around our small group touring programs to envelope yourself and fellow travellers in a structured touring program that has a theme and is supported by local knowledgable guides who meet you and share with you their stories in each location before you ride on to your next location often 180-240 miles (300-400 kilometres away) Your support team at odyssey will have organised the entire trip for you to upload into the GPS before you leave Sydney or Melbourne. Your personal motorbike tour may be several days in the outback or that Sydney to Perth dream ride via Uluru over several weeks that you have had the itch to enjoy. Odyssey though will look after all the arrangements, from the supply of the motorcycle rental , your helmets, riding gear including personal air bags and panniers to the soft seat for your companion if needed.

Planning your Motorcycle tour.

Bike selection is a personal choice, we can offer late model BMW’s and Honda’s to the rider as well as speciality bikes such as a Harley Davidson should that be your dream. Most of motorcycle touring is a return to the place you started for example Sydney , Melbourne or Perth , but Odyssey will also take care of the one way specific bike tour as part of the motorcycle rental program.

The tour itinerary is spaced out with comfortable distances through spectacular scenery which in this big country is not difficult to find to enjoy from National parks to treeless landscapes that glide into the horizon. Each time you break in an agreed location on your motorcycle trip itinerary there will be time to meet your local tour guide along the road travelled to learn about the place you have arrived in. The accommodation along the way and the entrances to tourist attractions in some of the most remote and interesting areas of Australia are all agreed and booked on your behalf in advance including local insurance to give your road trip dream the greatest chance of being that truly great ride you have dreamed off every chance of success.

The information we provide also offers suggestions on what sights to visit, where to get food, where to get fuel, and things of that nature to make your motorcycle adventure as smooth and carefree as possible.

MULTI-TOOL: 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak

With its solid and diabolically powerful (170 hp) 1158cc Granturismo donk that offers larger service intervals, the Pikes Peak strikes what I think is the perfect balance between versatility, reliability, and out-and-out street performance.

BOXING CLEVER: 2024 BMW R 1300 GS Trophy X

Make no mistake, BMW’s new R 1300 GS is a significant departure from its predecessor, the R 1250 GS. It is an exercise in nitpicking to highlight an area where the 1300 isn’t objectively better than the 1250. The 1300 and the 1250 might share the GS moniker and have the same suspension and engine configuration, but that’s about as far as the similarities go.

Charley Boorman Interview

Probably the world’s most recognisable adventure-riding celebrity, Charley Boorman is a popular character. That’s no doubt due in no small part to his friendly and approachable nature. Billy Ward sat down with the man in Africa and had a chat.
