Ned Kelly Bushranger Country Cycling

486 km Loop, Medium, Flat/Hilly,Roads/Rail Trails, Sealed/Unsealed

Who was Ned Kelly? Why after all this time is he still so well known?

His cool armour head gear could be part of the reason. His helmet can be seen in many farmer's mailboxes on numerous Biepacking Routes.

Was he a villain, a hero, or a bit of both?

You can make up your own mind as you ride and explore all the key sites where the legend of the Ned Kelly Gang lives on!

This trail uses quiet secondary roads and rail trails on mostly flat terrain, although there is a large climb between Mansfield and Whitfield.

This trail will take you from Wangaratta to Seymour via Glenrowan, Benalla, Violet Town, Euroa and Avenel. From Mansfield go over the hills to Milawa, via an optional detour to Stringy Bark Creek and the spectacularly beautiful Powers Lookout. Then it is on to the historic Gold Mining town of Beechworth where Ned spent time in Gaol and 23 of his supporters were held without charge for 3 months.

Thank you very much to John Fuller for designing and recording this ride.
