Set out on a two-wheeled adventure in the southern section of D'Aguilar National Park, where hundreds of kilometres of trail crisscross the landscape.
Two popular routes include the 22km one-way South Boundary Road trail and the 25km Audax loop—just keep a look out for road and junction signs marking where mountain bike access isn’t allowed.
Make a weekend of it and stay at one of five remote bush camps— Scrub Road bush camp, Light Line Road bush camp, Dundas Road bush camp, England Creek bush camp and Northbrook Mountain bush camp are located along the trails.
More detail about the mountain bike trail network is provided in the South D'Aguilar forest trail map and the D'Aguilar National Park topographic map, available for purchase from the Walkabout Creek Discovery Centreat The Gap.
