Overview
Australia's scale is its defining characteristic. The Nullarbor Plain stretches 1,200km with almost no services. The Munda Biddi Trail winds through ancient jarrah forest for 1,000km. The Mawson Trail climbs through the Flinders Ranges on historic droving tracks. Distances that would span entire European countries are just a single day's ride between towns.
“The Munda Biddi Trail through Western Australian jarrah forest. The Mawson Trail in the Flinders Ranges. Distances that redefine what "remote" means.”

Rider Tips
- Carry a minimum of 5L water at all times in the outback — heat stroke is a genuine risk.
- Flies are relentless in summer — a fly net for your helmet is not optional, it's essential.
- Munda Biddi huts must be booked in advance through the Munda Biddi Trail Foundation.
- Snakes are common — never put hands or feet anywhere you can't see, especially when camping.
