Overview
Endeavour has been out in the bush sieving through all roads and trails to put together a comprehensive 4-day adventure bike extravaganza where we will trace the footsteps of one of Australia's most iconic bushrangers!
We will start at the foothills of the Great Divide near the hunter valley, NSW as a great central starting point before we cross the range and head for the country music capital of Australia for our first night followed by staying in a small town that is literally built on top of an extinct volcanoe, all before we follow the granite belt to within a stone’s throw from the QLD border in gem stone country.
With the real question being....... did Captain Thunderbolt really escape?????
