Cycling is a healthy and fun way to explore the region. Your safety is important to us and we urge you to read and follow the safety recommendations below.

• Obey the Australian road rules at all times
• Cycle on the left hand side of the road
• Negotiate roundabouts in a clockwise direction
• Cycle in single file along busy roads
• 2 abreast is permitted on quieter stretches
• Maintain your cycling line when motor traffic is about
• Wear an approved safety helmet and make sure it is fitted correctly
• Wear bright clothing - to make you more visible to drivers
• Wear sunglasses - to protect the eyes form dust, insects and bright sunlight
• Please do not ride our bikes after dark - they are not equipped for it
• Give hand signals when turning, changing lanes or stopping
• Adults must not cycle on footpaths unless accompanying a child under the age of 12 years
• Children under the age of 10 years should not ride on the road
• Ride positively and decisively and stay alert
• Think ahead and try to anticipate driver and pedestrian actions
• At intersections - even if you have right of way - catch the drivers eye whenever possible
• If crossing a busy road, get off and walk across - look to the right, left & right again
• Make sure you take plenty of water with you when you ride
• If you want to have a drink, check a map or answer your phone, stop cycling and get off your bike first
• When stopping for a break, choose a safe spot and move well away from the road carriage way
• Be cautious on gravel/stone surfaces - do not brake or turn suddenly
• Cycling on sand is almost impossible - get off and walk if necessary
