DESCRIPTION

Day 1: Arrival Esk

Today make your way to the quaint outback Queensland town of Esk, 64km north of Ipswich on the Brisbane Valley Highway. Check in to your accommodation at the local Wivenhoe Motor Inn (or equivalent depending on availability).  An evening meal booking is made for you and is included in your tour.

Day 2:  Cycle Yarraman to Esk 

After breakfast, we transfer you to the start of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) at Yarraman.  Starting here means we enjoy a downhill roll and expansive views.   A stop for lunch at the Linville Hotel (included) at 42kms mark.  Jump in the transfer to Esk or continue your ride enjoying highlights that include the Yimbun Tunnel.  Cycle into Esk and enjoy a post ride refreshing drink.  Accommodation tonight is a second night in Esk, with your choice of dinner tonight – maybe a pub visit or local Thai is in order.

Day 3: Esk to Fernvale (40kms flat)
Enjoy a cafe breakfast in Esk before riding from your accommodation straight onto the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.  Today’s cycling is heading toward Ipswitch in a southerly direction.  Keep an eye out for wildlife including koala, echidna, emu and more. The trail is pretty much flat today and provides a new outlook, with sections that feel like rainforest (see image below) and the accompanying symphony of bird calls.  The incrediby well restored rail stations on route make great photo opporutnities.  Some of the outback scenery is memorable.

We collect you and your bikes at the end of your cycling and transfer you back to Esk, for you to collect your luggage (securely stored) and head off on your onward journey (showers avaiable).  Congratulations, you can now proudly declare you have ridden Australia’s longest rail trail.
