Stay on-country at Aunty Leanne's property- Learn about the land you ride and the land you stay on!  

One camping spot - many tracks!

​

HEADS UP - THIS TOUR INCLUDES SOME MODERATELY DIFFICULT TRACKS.  RIDERS SHOULD BE INTERMEDIATE TO EXPERIENCED ADV RIDERS OR EUNDURO RIDERS. 
Aunty Leanne's property is situated in the bush just out of Wollombi, which has been an important meeting place for surrounding Aboriginal tribes since that land was inhabited.  It was a place for trade, ceremony and sharing stories - and that is what we will do. 

 

Sleeping arrangements are similar to camping - we'll stay in an old wooden shed on
Aunty Leanne's property.  A mattress on the floor can be provide, or feel free to bring your own camping-cot or air-mattress.  Camping kit can be provided on request.

This tour will start in Rouse Hill, on the land of the Dharag mob of the Eora Nation.  We will start the first day by sitting down with the mob at the Muru Mittigar Cultural Centre, who'll greet us with a smoking ceremony (traditionally used to cleanse and protect us).  They'll also provide an interesting talk on Indigenous cultural history in Australia, and finally teach us about the different types of boomerang and how to properly throw them.

​

The first-day's ride will include a good mix of on and off-road.  Some fantastically slippery stuff and wonderful views.  We'll stop at Wisemans Ferry for lunch - at the pub.  At the end of the day we will enter Aunty Leanne's property -  a steep ride in itself.  We'll park-up about one kilometre from the camp-site and walk on to the land.  Aunty Leanne and Uncle Phil will guide us on the land and talk us through the site and what will happen.

 

The second day we'll lower the tyre pressure as we'll be almost exclusively off-road!  Woot Woot!!  There'll be a little bit of tar, but mostly tracks - some very rocky and rough, some sandy and slippery.  It will be a big day with a lot of kms - so bring a hydro pack and some snacks.

​

The third and final day of riding will take in some of the most spectacular views and fun riding of the trip.  Aunty Leanne and Uncle Phil will provide a guided tour of some of the amazing rock carvings in Yengo National Park and ride through the lower part of the Yengo National Park.  Its an adventure-riders paradise out there. The tracks are newly graded and fun - way fun!  We'll stop for lunch at Wiseman's Ferry before heading back on to tight, twisty, slippery dirt tracks, ending the day at Rouse Hill.
