Great Gourmet Ride

Cyclists on the Great Gourmet Ride

The Great Gourmet Ride offers an easy ride through lush pastures and valleys to the west of Deloraine - an area that is home to some of Australia’s leading gourmet producers.

A great contrast to the Great Country Ride, this tour offers a glimpse at some of the region’s more innovative farming practices and provides plenty of opportunities to stop and sample some of the delicious gourmet products along the way.

Great World Heritage Ride

The Great World Heritage Ride extends south from Deloraine, providing some amazing views of the Great Western Tiers as you approach the edge of the famous Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

As you journey south towards Liffey Falls and the World Heritage Area, the ride becomes more challenging. Cyclists should take careful note of the safety information contained in the podcasts and be aware that the final stretch on the approach to Liffey Falls is suitable for hybrid and mountain bikes only.

Great Caves Ride

The Great Caves Ride can be taken as either a one- or two-day tour and will take you through an area that is home to some of the most famous caves in Australia.

If you decide on a one day tour, you will depart from Deloraine and make your way to Mole Creek via Chudleigh, before returning to Deloraine along the same road. Make time to stop at the many attractions this area has to offer, including Trowunna Wildlife Park, the spectacular Alum Cliffs, and the spellbinding King Solomons and Marakoopa caves.

Great Country Ride

A flat ride through scenic countryside and historic townships, the Great Country Ride provides two options depending on the direction you are heading.

Traveling west from the direction of Launceston, the inbound tour begins in Hadspen before leaving the main highway to explore the district’s English-style countryside. Along the way you will discover the traditional farming practices that characterise this area and some of the best evidence of our colonial heritage.
