Since 2002, motorcycle adventurers have taken on the annual challenge of riding a small capacity motorcycle vast distances across the Australian landscape.

World heritage rainforests, deserts, open plains, snowy mountains, river crossing, bitumen roads, dirt roads, corrugations and bulldust provides the backdrop to the Postie Bike Challenge event.

We have had riders from Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Singapore, France and the United States. The one thing they all have in common is a great sense of adventure.

The Postie Bike Challenge is an endurance event on a small motorcycle. Are you up for the challenge?

We pass through 4 states to get to Adelaide – Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.  The route has been carefully selected to take us through secondary roads and small towns.

Travelling through local forests out of Brisbane you will find the landscape change daily, becoming sparse then scorched as we head west into central NSW. There will be occasional dirt roads and we will pass through some remote communities. Our aim will be to take the less travelled route until we hit the great Murray river on the Victoria and NSW border. From here we will snake along the Murray river, through picturesque landscapes and small towns taking a very indirect route into South Australia and our destination, Adelaide.

Adventure is in the journey rather than the destination and this is one not to be missed. At times you will ride with a group; sometimes alone; you will feel remote; a million miles away from civilization; there will be long days on the bitumen;  your dirt riding skills might be tested; some days you will travel at full speed (75km/hr!!!) and others will be spent negotiating narrow dirt roads at 30-40km/hr; YOUR MISSION: keep your small motorcycle going for the 3000 kilometres!
