An easy, short road ride from Kangaroo Valley township following the Kangaroo River towards its source. The outward journey climbs gently through the dairy farms and patches of thick forest, overlooking this beautiful river, with spectacular views of the sandstone escarpment above the narrow valley. Once you reach Upper Kangaroo River settlement, the adventurous with mountain bikes will be tempted to explore further.
