Kendall
Meet at Beetroot'd at a time and date to suit you and your co-riders. Enjoy a coffee and excellent home-made pastries & cakes.
Upsalls Creek
A locality - known for its dairying and timber in past years.
Lorne
Once a centre of dairyin g and timber-logging. Now features a magnificent Macadamia plantation, a worthwhile visit.
Comboyne
Capital of the Comboyne Plateau and head of the Camden Haven River and streams. Now a "boutique" village, well worth browsing and having morning tea. Visit the local cheese factory.
Colling Road
Turn-off for Elands and the spectacular Ellenborough Falls.
Ducks Rd.
Continue on Colling Rd.
Elands
More a location than anything else.....a few village buildings.
Follow the signs to Ellenborough Falls.
Ellenborough Falls
Enjoy a break here and do the walk to the top of the falls, at least.
Wingham
After visiting the Falls, continue along Bulga Road to Wingham. Have a break, refuel and get ready for the leg to Gloucester.
Burrell Creek
Turn right into The Bucketts Way (note the two 't's') and head to Gloucester.
Krambach
Before the Pacific Highway was pushed through south of Taree way back when, people travelling by road had to take this route, which came out just south of Karuah.
Krambach was usually a refuelling and rest stop.
Gloucester
Feel like a rest?
Have a browse and grab a bite to eat here in Gloucester and top up your tank.
We now head north to Walcha.
Barrington
The village that is named the same as the famous 'Tops'. Note that you are now on Thunderbolt's Way, named after the infamous bushranger.
Nowendoc
You can stop and have a break here if needed.
Walcha
You've now done just on 300 kms since starting. Depending upon what time you headed off from Kendall, and how long you spent at each location, you might like to spend the night here in Walcha.
Next leg takes you onto the Oxley Hwy. and off to Wauchope.
Wauchope
Renowned for timber up until the 1980's, Wauchope is seeing a resurgence. After the leg from Walcha you might like to have a good break here before doing the last easy few kms to Kew.
Bago Road
Really just a continuation of the street from Wauchope.
Pacific Highway
Cross the north-bound lane - be very careful of approaching traffic - and then turn south on the south-bound lane.
Kew
Pull up at the Royal Hotel for a well-earned rest. That completes the loop.....just shy of 500 km.
