Cycle to the many attractions in the region
Margaret River is a region that is increasingly explored by bike. A number of our clients choose to
train to Bunbury and then ride to Margaret River, carrying
their possessions in pannier bags or in a B.O.B. trailer.
A 18 km rail trail joins
Margaret River to Cowaramup, whilst a shorter off road track can be
found just outside town at Ten Mile Brook.

Waterous Loop
This loop ride starts and finishes adjacent to the Munda Biddi
Trail, often weaving alongside the Murray River,
passing through the Lane Pool Reserve. Dwellingup is the
nearest major town.
