4-Day Sydney to Melbourne - Adventure Motorcycle Tour

22 November to 25 November 2025

Ready for an unforgettable adventure from Sydney to Melbourne?

Get set to fire up your adventure bike and carve your way through some of the best dirt roads in Australia. This ride is designed for big bikes and all roads are council gazetted dirt roads.


Forget the Hume—this is no boring freeway cruise. This is a proper ride, built for riders who crave dirt, challenge, and stunning alpine scenery.

Ride Overview

This four-day off-road motorcycle adventure is packed with everything a real adventure rider wants—twisties, epic climbs, high-country vistas, and remote dirt that’ll make your tyres sing.


We’ll be riding some of the best roads in the Southern Highlands and through the heart of Victoria’s legendary High Country.

From big open tracks to winding alpine roads, every day is a new ride through dirt terrain and natural beauty.

The Route:

Day 1 – Penrith to Goulburn (~300 km) 22/11/2025


Start Place of ride : McDonalds Car Park - Next to Penrith Panthers - Mulgoa Rd, Penrith NSW 2750


We kick things off bright and early from Penrith. After sign-on and briefing, we ride out across the beautiful dirt roads—through forest trails and country backroads that’ll set the tone for the journey ahead.


The dirt tracks here are just a taste of what’s to come. We'll end the day in the historic town of Goulburn, the perfect setting to rest up and share a cold one with your fellow riders.

Bike Setup & Tyres

This ride is built for larger adventure bikes, not lightweight enduros. Roads are gazetted council roads. You’ll want a minimum of 30/70 road-dirt tyres— This is mandatory with more dirt capability preferred. Please don’t arrive with your 60/40 tyres. It puts you at risk and the sweeps trying to help you. Your standard tyres that come with the bike off the showroom floor won’t cut it.

The MITAS E07 or something similar is what we recommend for this tour.

What You’ll Need

  • Adventure bike in good condition
  • Knobby tyres
  • Riding gear with protection
  • Brake and clutch lever
  • Tube front and rear for your motorcycle – Even if its tubeless, you’ll still need tubes if you buckle a rim
