Bundanoon Discovery Rambles In addition to cycling, Bundanoon offers a wealth of walking opportunities, from easy village rambles to more strenuous hikes in rugged Morton National Park. Details of eight Bundanoon Discovery Rambles, shown on the map overleaf, can be downloaded from the Bundanoon community website, www.bundanoon.nsw.au. The walks take from 25 minutes to two hours and all start and finish at Bundanoon Railway Station. All but one of the walks is dog-friendly and most are particularly suitable for families. Along the way walkers will pass beautifully tended gardens, rolling farmland, unspoilt bushland and the homes of some of Bundanoon’s pioneer settlers. They will also see a rich variety of flora and fauna. Details of walking tracks within Morton National Park can be obtained by calling the National Parks & Wildlife Visitor’s Centre 02 4887 7270.

The RidesThe rides shown here just sample of the wealth of cycling opportunities available close to Bundanoon. You’ll see from the map that you can link parts of these rides together to form your own routes too! All rides start and finish from the Bundanoon Post Office.

Bundanoon Town RidesRide 1: Lookouts of Morton National Park 12km, Easy.An easy ride on mainly dirt roads checking out some of the spectacular lookouts in Morton National Park.Ride down Church St turning right after 80 metres into Gullies Rd (continuing straight leads down the very steep Constitution Hill). This dirt road descends to a T-junction at the base of Constitution Hill. Turn right and follow the road into Morton NP at Gambells Rest Camp/Picnic Area (toilets/water). The ride now follows single lane dirt roads in a loop around the park – watch out for lyrebirds and wallabies. 1.2 km after entering the park you come to an intersection. Riding left (signed Grand Canyon/Fairy Bower) continues the loop back to the park entrance (2kms), riding straight ahead offers a very worthwhile return trip (6.5kms) to take in Bonnie View lookout (a 2km loop) and then on to Echo Point with its wonderful lookout overhanging the cliffs. Ride back to the intersection and turn right to continue past Grand Canyon and Sunrise lookouts. Soon you’ll have completed the loop back to Gambells Rest. Head out of the park and back the way you came. The brave and the fit will accept the challenge of climbing Constitution Hill; most will turn left to climb back up the easier angled Gullies Road. * Note - There is no National Park entry fee for cyclists. DO NOT ride your bike on any

‘walking’ tracks in Morton National Park.

Ride 2: Bridge to Bridge 11km, Moderate.A full loop taking in the extremities of the village via two railway bridges. Head east along Railway Ave past all the shops and after 2km, just before you leave the village, turn left into Erith St across the railway bridge. Once across the bridge turn immediately right into a dirt track and take the left fork. After 80 metres turn left into an unmarked track. The start of the track is very narrow and begins just a few metres before the gatepost of “Corinda Grange”. This, Blue Gum Road, soon improves to a firetrail and then sealed road. Continue on to turn left into Ellsmore Road and soon you’ll come to a large park, Jordan’s Crossing (the original name for Bundanoon) on your left. A sealed bike path runs through the park from Ellsmore Rd. Follow this all the way past Bundanoon Oval to the Bundanoon Club, perhaps taking the opportunity for a cold drink on the verandah. From the club turn right into Erith St and after 60 metres right again onto a grassy bike path. At the end of the path continue straight across Ellsmore Rd into Old Wingello Road. Turning left here would lead, after a couple of hundred metres, to the pedestrian railway crossing and the village centre*. 1.3 kms down Old Wingello Road, the major road swings right to become Ferndale Road but you take the minor road to the left, a continuation of Old Wingello Road. This soon becomes a dirt track descending to some large puddles in all but the driest conditions. A big mob of kangaroos usually hang around the paddocks on the right. The track passes Ferndale Oval (toilets/water) through the trees and comes to a T junction. Turn left into the dirt Quarry Road which winds through scribblygums to cross your second railway bridge to reach the sealed Penrose Rd. Turn left, enjoy a brief climb, and then cruise back into the centre of the village with one last right turn opposite the fire station into Anzac Pde. * Note – This route, from Ellsmore Rd, can easily be followed as a shorter loop (6km)

of the western side of the village.

Ride 3: To Viewpoint 11km, Easy.Ride to a peaceful lookout via a mix of tracks on the western side of Bundanoon.Ride down Anzac Pde and turn left into Penrose Rd (signposted to Goulburn) following this through the village for 2.4 km to Coalmines Rd. 200 metres down Coalmines Rd turn right into a dirt track and at the first junction, the boundary of Morton NP, turn left (signposted to Viewpoint). Continue along the track and you’ll come to a beautiful lookout above the cliffs with views far down Bundanoon Creek. Squint and you can almost see the ocean! Return the way you came. Turn left into Coalmines Road and then right into Penrose Road.100 metres past the sandstone Bundanoon sign, turn left into Quarry Rd and follow for 2km until you come to the sealed road. Turn right into Ferndale Rd and follow for 1.5km to Hill St. At the top, turn left at the roundabout before turning right to cross the railway bridge and follow Anzac Pde back to the village centre.

Ride 4

Ride 5

Ride 4: Exeter Loop 15km, Easy to Moderate.A visit to the neighbouring village of Exeter through rolling farmland.Head across the pedestrian railway crossing to ride down Ellsmore Rd. After 1.4km you’ll come to a T-junction. Turn left and after a further 1km the road becomes dirt for a short section - up then down with pretty rural views. Once back on the blacktop a 1.2km, steady hill gradually levels as you pass first Cornwall Rd then Sallys Corner Rd. 6km from starting you turn right into Middle Rd and thoughts might come to mind of milkshake or coffee at Exeter General Store. From the store, turn right and follow the main Exeter-Bundanoon road back to Bundanoon or cross the road in Exeter, go under the rail bridge and turn right to return to Bundanoon on the other side of the railway line.

Ride 5: Ferndale/Old Argyle/Ellsmore Circuit 18km, Moderate.A very enjoyable ride on generally quiet, sealed (11km) and dirt (7km) country roads with a chance for wine tasting en route!Head across the pedestrian level crossing at the railway station and follow Ellsmore Rd for 1.4km to a T-junction. Turn left and after a further 1km the road becomes dirt for a short section - up then down with pretty rural views. Once back on the blacktop enjoy a steady climb and turn left into Cornwall Rd , turn right into Westgrove Rd then left onto Sallys Corner Rd at the T-intersection. After 0.5km turn right if you want to sample the wines of St Maur (200 metres along the road). Otherwise turn left into Old Argyle Rd and follow this tree lined road (6km dirt) which becomes Ferndale Rd at a sharp left hand corner. From here enjoy a long downhill before the road undulates back into Bundanoon. Turn right into Hill St and at the top turn left at the roundabout before turning right to cross the railway bridge and following Anzac Pde back to the village centre.

WARNING: Rides 4 and 5 are winding rural roads which have sections of 80 and 100km/h speed zones and therefore may be unsuitable for young and novice riders.
