It might begin on the East Coast, where the Pacific Ocean sits just beyond your shoulder, and the road rolls effortlessly from one coastal town to the next. The morning air is crisp, the traffic fades away, and before long, you find yourself settling into that familiar rhythmโ€”engine, road, horizon. Somewhere along the way, thereโ€™s a stop for coffee, a conversation with locals who seem genuinely pleased youโ€™ve come this far, and a quiet moment where you realise this is exactly why you ride.

As the days unfold, the landscape begins to shift. Beaches give way to winding hinterland roads, lush forests open into wide country, and every turn seems to offer something different without ever feeling rushed. This isnโ€™t about chasing kilometresโ€”itโ€™s about enjoying them. Riding well, stopping when it matters, and sharing the experience with people who appreciate it just as much as you do.

Whether youโ€™re travelling solo, riding together as a couple, or heading out with a group of good mates, the east coast of Australia offers the kind of journey that feels both effortless and deeply rewarding. Itโ€™s comfortable, itโ€™s welcoming, and itโ€™s perfectly suited to riders who know that the best trips arenโ€™t measured in speed, but in moments.

At Ride The World Motorcycle Tours, weโ€™ve shaped these tours with that in mind. Led by experienced Australian riders who know these roads intimately, every detail is considered so you can relax into the ride and take it all inโ€”without distraction, without compromise.

Because riding in Australia isnโ€™t about ticking it off a list.

Itโ€™s about experiencing it properlyโ€ฆ one unforgettable day at a time.

After breakfast, we transfer to pick up our motorcycles and embark on our exhilarating motorcycle tour.

Our first day on the road after going to collect the motorcycle you have chosen. Today is a celebration of twisty tarmac and Australian wildlife.

We begin by riding by Windsor, a historic town then easing into the open roads before turning up the adrenaline on the legendary Putty Road โ€” a motorcyclistโ€™s paradise known for its sweeping curves, rugged bushland, and exhilarating ride. We will be taking it easy as this is your first day riding. Our first stop: the famous Grey Gums Cafรฉ, a riderโ€™s refuge where you can grab a coffee, share your experienes, and take in the fresh mountain air.

From the Grey Gums Cafรฉ, the road opens up then there are tight curves as we ride northeast toward Hunter Valley Wildlife Park, where kangaroos, koalas, and camels (yes, camels!) await. Stretch your legs and snap a few photos as you wander the grounds, soaking in the wild spirit of regional NSW.

The day concludes with a well-earned rest and a hearty meal at the Sir Francis Drake Inn in Heatherbrae, a classic stop with character and comfort โ€” perfect for recapping the dayโ€™s ride over a cold drink with your new riding friends.

Day 04: Tuesday, 10 November 2026 โ€“ Newcastle, NSW to Port Macquarie, NSW.

Riding: 267 Kilometres | 166 Miles โ€“ 3 hours 35 minutes riding plus stops.

Included Meals: Breakfast.

After a hearty breakfast a 9:00 am start for a day of stunning scenery, aviation history, winding mountain passes, and two-wheeled nostalgia.

Our first stop is just a short ride away at Fighter World, Williamtown โ€” a hands-on aviation museum where you can get up close to classic RAAF (Royal Australian Airforce) fighter jets and even sit in the cockpit of a Mirage. A perfect warm-up for what’s to come.

From there, the ride gets interesting as we carve through the legendary curves of Wootton Way โ€” an old section of the Pacific Highway reborn as a motorcyclist’s dream. With tight turns, lush greenery, and little traffic, it’s a hidden gem that captures the thrill of the open road. But beware of the leaf litter which is sometimes on the road.

Next, we arrive at a bucket-list stop for any bike enthusiast: the National Motorcycle Museum in Nabiac. Housing hundreds of classic bikes, memorabilia, and rare machines, it’s a paradise of chrome, leather, nostalgia and maybe a little rust.

We return to our motorcycles and continue heading north. We make a scenic detour to North Brother Lookout, where sweeping panoramic views of the Camden Haven coast which is part of the Pacific Coast offers great views and a perfect photo op.

The day ends with a relaxed roll into Port Macquarie, where coastal breezes, great food choices and comfortable accommodation welcome us after an unforgettable ride. Kick off the boots, share a story or two, and rest up โ€” tomorrowโ€™s road awaits.

Accommodation: Rydges Port Macquarie.

Riding: 315 Kilometres | 194 Miles โ€“ 3 hours 48 minutes riding plus stops.

Included Meals: Breakfast.

Departing the coastal charm of Port Macquarie, todayโ€™s ride is all about elevation, exhilaration, and epic tales from Australiaโ€™s wild frontier. With the engines fire up, we head inland on the renowned Oxley Highway โ€” one of the most celebrated motorcycle roads in the country.

With over 300 corners in 150 km, the Oxley takes us from rainforest twists to rolling high-country plains, making it a pure riderโ€™s delight. The journey climbs onto the New England Tablelands, where cooler air and wide open skies greet us in Walcha, a quaint town known for its sculptures and rural charm but we visit a hidden waterfall before town.

Continuing on to Uralla, we step into the boots of bushranger folklore as we explore the history of Captain Thunderbolt โ€” the gentleman outlaw who once ruled these roads. We will visit Thunderbolt’s statue and learn about his hideouts and daring escapes. It’s the perfect blend of grit and legend to pair with your ride.

From Uralla, we ride south and onto Australia’s country music capital โ€” Tamworth โ€” where weโ€™ll spend the night. But before stopping for the night, three iconic stops await:

  • The Powerhouse Motorcycle Museum, packed with part of one man’s collection of pristine vintage bikes that stir up nostalgia and admiration.
  • The towering Big Golden Guitar, a must-see Aussie roadside icon that celebrates Tamworthโ€™s musical soul.
  • Oxley Scenic Lookout for a view over the city of Tamworth.

Accommodation: Best Western Sanctuary Inn , Tamworth.

Riding: 433 Kilometres | 270 Miles โ€“ 5 hours 15 minutes riding plus stops.

Included Meals: Breakfast.

Leaving the rhythm of Tamworth behind, our engines roar to life once more as we begin another unforgettable leg of the journey โ€” a ride that celebrates small-town charm, classic machines, and one of NSWโ€™s most scenic hidden highways.

Our first stop is Werris Creek, Australiaโ€™s first railway town, where the spirit of working-class heritage runs deep. A short ride from there brings us to the quirky and delightful Bobโ€™s Shed โ€” a living museum packed with vintage cars, memorabilia, and nostalgic treasures. Itโ€™s the kind of place where youโ€™ll smile at every turn, with stories stitched into every tin sign and chrome bumper.

From roadside memories to aerial might, we continue on to Scone, home of Hunter Warbirds Aviation Museum. Here, legendary aircraft are lovingly restored and displayed, capturing the daring spirit of pilots past. The collection is a nod to Australiaโ€™s aviation history โ€” a perfect contrast to our two-wheeled journey.

The final stretch is nothing short of breathtaking as we hit the Bylong Valley Way โ€” a secluded, winding ribbon of bitumen that weaves through forested hills, sandstone cliffs, and wide open farmland. Itโ€™s pure riding bliss, the kind of road that feels made just for motorcycles.

We end the day in iconic Bathurst, where motorsport heritage runs through the veins of the town. Whether you’re riding into the sunset or just eyeing up Mount Panorama from a distance, there’s no better place to unwind, reflect, and prepare for the next chapter of this incredible November ride.

Accommodation – Heritage Inn Bathurst

Day-06-Map-Tamworth-to-Bathurst-hybrid Ride New South Wales's Northwest Roads - 07 November 2026 - 8 Days

Day 07: Friday, 13 November 2026 โ€“ Bathurst, NSW to Sydney, NSW.

Riding: 223 Kilometres | 140 Miles โ€“ 3 hours 25 minutes riding plus stops.

Included Meals: Breakfast.

The final day of our epic November motorcycle tour begins in Bathurst, where racing legends are made and the throttle hand feels just a little heavier. But todayโ€™s ride isnโ€™t about speed โ€” itโ€™s about soaking in the last spectacular miles of New South Walesโ€™s countryside.

We wind out of Bathurst through the charming hamlet of Tarana, where the roads tighten and the scenery begins to shift. As we join the Great Western Highway, the Blue Mountains rise before us, we cruise toward one of Australiaโ€™s most iconic natural landmarks: The Three Sisters in Katoomba. With a short break to take in the views, it’s a fitting reminder of the raw beauty we’ve been riding through all week.

From here, we retrace our route to join to ride to Bell along the ridge through Bell and onto the famed Bells Line of Road, a motorcyclistโ€™s dream full of sweeping corners and stunning mountain vistas. A relaxing stop in Bilpin, famous for its fresh apple pie and mountain air, gives us one last taste of the countryside before the final leg.

The journey comes full circle as we return the bikes to the rental location, where it all began. But the experience isnโ€™t quite over yet.

We pay one last visit โ€” a Harley-Davidson dealership, where chrome dreams and tour souvenirs await. Whether you’re picking up a memento or just admiring the iron on display, itโ€™s the perfect to our days of two-wheeled freedom.

Finally, we head to our accommodation near Sydney Airport, where a warm shower, a cold drink, and a heartfelt farewell dinner await. We share laughs, photos, and stories of wild roads and unforgettable moments โ€” a celebration of the friendships forged and the adventure that brought us all together.

Accommodation: Crowne Plaza Mascot.

Exploring the Pacific Coast, Great Divide and Western Slopes – 9 Days

Total riding distance – 1,792 km / 1,114 miles.

Seven riding days of discovering what this part of New South Wales offers: exhilarating roads, breathtaking scenery, nature, animals, and lots of history of mechanical, natural, and human endeavours.

The tour takes you along the Pacific Coast, riding up The Great Dividing Range and onto the Western Slopes. This provides many roads, from twisty mountain ones to open highways.

Some of the roads are well-known to local riders. The food stops have been personally chosen for what they offer and their variety.

Below, you will find the daily itinerary.

We look forward to sharing this adventure with you as you discover an Australia you do not know about.
