Mulga Bicycle Tours

A memorable cycling journey through an incredibly diverse range of landscapes, starting on the beautiful tropical coast, then taking in rainforest, savannah, and rivers as you cross Australia's iconic Cape York. This tour provides a once-in-a-lifetime chance to accomplish something most people only dream of, with each leg carefully planned to be achievable for the average cyclist.

Escape to the bush and experience the outback first-hand: fresh air, endless blue skies, and rainbow sunsets.

This guided bike tour is suitable for those spending either one or more days in our marvellous city. In the short time available for this tour, many of the places we go are only accessible by bike, so our bicycle tour provides an excellent and quick orientation for all visitors to Canberra.

Since 1988 the city's focal point has been the large Australian flag flying from the stainless steel flagpole on top of Parliament House, the seat of government in Australia. Spread out below is Lake Burley Griffin, the parklands of the Parliamentary Triangle and the homes of many of Australia’s social and cultural institutions. These striking institutions, the government buildings that surround them and the other National Institutions spread throughout the city are there with one purpose in mind - to collect, preserve and share the nation’s stories.

As we ride through the parklands using part of the Canberra Centenary Trail we pass many of these institutions including the National Museum of Australia, the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, the National Archives of Australia, the High Court of Australia, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, The National Science and Technology Centre (Questacon), the National Library of Australia and the Australian War Memorial. 

Throughout the tour we will stop to tell stories and take photos.

We stop for lunch at one of the cafes in the new Kingston Foreshore urban renewal redevelopment, which is built on the site of the old industrial area established to build and provide power to early Canberra. On our way we will pass through the Kingston Arts Precinct, home to the Canberra Glassworks and the famous Old Bus Depot Markets.

We begin with a stop at the Australian War Memorial to witness The Last Post Ceremony.Leaving the War Memorial we head down to Lake Burley Griffin, passing many of the national institutions, Parliament House, and the National Gallery's Sculpture Garden and James Turrell's Skyspace.

We stop for a bite to eat at 'Snapper on the Lake', an outdoor eatery popular with Canberra locals, and then conclude the evening with a 10-minute ride back to Regatta Point.

Whilst on tour please feel free to ask your guide about anything to do with Canberra. Whether it is about the best place to eat or the best way to spend a rainy day in Canberra, we want to share our city with you.
