Grand Ridge Ride

The Grand Ridge Road (when Australians say “road” it does sound like “ride”) is 132km of motorcycle delight that runs along the ridge of the Strzelecki Ranges with occasional glimpses of the Bass Strait between here and Tasmania. This is the most southerly point in our little adventure.

The route is a logging road between stands of pine and massive old eucalyptus. Plantation and rain forest interspersed. A spectacular ride apart from the constant threat of logging trucks whose drivers do not seem to care if they hit anything.

This was our last real backroad dirt section on this trip – from here we are winding down and winding back to Melbourne.
