Australia Motorcycle Tour: Brisbane Loop Ride

Your Australia motorcycle tour begins in Brisbane, Queensland's lively capital. After you arrive, explore this waterside city with its own relaxed charm, before the actual motorcycle tour sets off the following morning.

In the morning you pick up your motorcycle and set off north on your Queensland motorcycle tour. Winding back roads carry you through the deep green hinterland around Lake Wivenhoe before you reach the Sunshine Coast, which you follow all the way to Rainbow Beach.

You continue north along the coast, and as a self-guided rider on this Australia motorcycle tour you can take the time to watch dolphins on the beach at Hervey Bay in the morning. From Agnes Water you can optionally add a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef.

Today brings plenty of curves into the wild hinterland: your individual Australia motorcycle tour leads through the historic rainforests of Kroombit and Bania, and through the Boyne Valley, to the small town of Gayndah.

Another winding day through Queensland's subtropical forests. On your rental motorcycle in Australia, it's worth stopping in Bunya Mountains National Park, where towering Bunya Pines and often koalas, wallabies and colourful bird species await.

After a few days inland, your route heads back to the coast today. This on-road Australia motorcycle tour winds through Koreelah National Park before the Gold Coast tempts you with a beach walk and a dip in the waves of the Pacific.

The final leg of your Brisbane motorcycle tour follows the Gold Coast via Byron Bay back into the city. Along the way, hip little towns and quiet sandy beaches invite you to linger, before you return your motorcycle in the evening and let the trip wind down.
