Set out on a two-wheeled adventure in the southern section of D'Aguilar National Park, where hundreds of kilometres of rides crisscross the landscape.
Two popular routes include the 22km one-way South Boundary Road trail and the 25km Aquila loop—keep a look out for road and junction signs marking where mountain-bike access is prohibited.
Make a weekend of it and stay at one of five remote bush camps—Scrub Road remote bush camp, Light Line Road remote bush camp, Dundas Road remote bush camp, England Creek remote bush camp and Northbrook Mountain remote bush camp located along the trails.
More detail about the mountain-bike rides is provided in the South D'Aguilar shared trails map and the D'Aguilar National Park—South D’Aguilar section topographic map, available for purchase from the Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre at The Gap.
