Lost On… The Great Divide Ride

A real adventure along the spine of Australia

The Great Dividing Range creeps out of the Tasman Sea, over the Snowy Mountains and meanders through thousands of kilometres of alpine pasture, semi-desert and rainforest, across the entire length of Australia’s eastern seaboard to Cape York – the northernmost point in Australia. Have you ever dreamt of travelling the length of Australia from the bottom to the top end?

Lost On… in partnership with Cape York Motorcycle Adventures is offering supported adventures along the east coast of Australia from Tasmania to the tip of Cape York – zig zagging along one of the longest wildlife corridors in the world.

You have a choice of crossing Australia in one go, or if you can’t take a few weeks off, you can complete the journey one leg at a time.

Stage ONE Melbourne to Sydney (or Sydney to Melbourne) 5 nights
Stage TWO Sydney to Brisbane (or Brisbane to Sydney) 3 nights
Stage THREE Brisbane to Cairns (or Cairns to Brisbane) 5 nights
