Cycling in Queensland (Aus)

[rudi-h]

I'll be off to Aus for an extended work trip that should last about two months.  Based in the middle of nowhere in a town called Moura, closest places that seem a bit larger are Rockhampton and Gladstone.

 

That said, I'll probably be able to get as far as Brisbane, Townsville or Cairns over a long weekend or two if there's something good to ride within that stretch.

 

I might be taking a MTB, but i'm up for riding anything ranging from downhill tracks to tar road gran fondo's.  Views and cool towns are importanter than trail quality for this trip, I'd like to get to see some nice places.

 

Happy to take some advise from anyone that cycled around there to give me some tips.  PMs or a reply to this thread would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Rudi

Are you going to rent a bike while there or bring yours? I heard they can be quite picky on it having to be ultra clean when you bring it in.
