The way points of this bicycle route:

Newnes

This iis a great weekend ride. Start off from Sydney at 6.00am and you will be here at 10.00am on a Saturdaay morning. Pitch your tents and then drive back the 10ks or so to the crossing. (Its all rough and corrugated to ride.)

Dump the cars here and get out the bikes!

See sign for walking track to glow worm tunnel

The Gllow Worm Tunnel

Glow worms hate noise and light! Also you can't see them properly if you are being blinded by torches. So just use your bike like a zimmer frame and stumble through the tunnel quietly in the dark. It's a spiritual expereince!

Second tunnel

No glow worms, but try to cycle through without losing your balance in the dark!

Now this is an easy turn off to miss!! It is like a real hairpin except its reetty flat. Watch out for it.

Ok, fasten seatbelts and hang on for quite a ride back down the mountain!! Yeeeeehaaaaa!!!!!

The cars

How waass that!! Now you can swim in the river and cool off before driving back to camp.
