Head north for winter

Cairns Motorcycle Tours in far north Queensland reckons now is an ideal time to escape the southern winter and go for a nice long, warm, ride.

Steve Rothwell from the company writes, "The appalling weather in the wake of cyclones Larry and Monica has finally abated, leaving a sunny wonderland of on and off-road bliss. Your frostbitten southern readers need to know about this!

"I'm Steve Rothwell; passionate campaigner for riding Queensland's Far North and operator of new outfit Cairns Motorcycle Tours and Hire. Yep you guessed it - we opened for business just before the aforementioned rotating storm systems closed down the whole show up here. I must have a very well-developed instinct for regrettable timing ...

"Nevertheless we're back in the saddle and trying to raise awareness of the region as a top riding destination."

We know from past experience the area has some terrific riding. For example the road north to Cape Tribulation is a must-do while you're in the area, and the Atherton tablelands close to Cairns offers some wonderful roads. See www.bikingaustralia.com.
