TRIP NOTES
You can travel from Dubbo back to Wongarbon along the same path to reach Railway Street Wongarbon. Continue straight along Station Street, passed the old settlement of the Wongarbon. Or take the alternative route via Old Dubbo Road: see below.
There is an inn in the centre of the Wongarbon for early refreshments. Also Suzie at the Wongarbon Post Office (0422615945) will make cyclists a great morning tea, or coffee with scones, if she is pre-warned !
Continue along Railway Street following the rail Line. The sealed road finishes after a kilometre, and soon after that the road turns left up a steep hill on the Red Hill Road. Follow this trail as it winds up and over a hill. There are excellent views to make the effort worthwhile.
After 4.5 km from Wongarbon turn right into Albion Hill Road and cycle back down the hill again enjoying the distant views. At the base of the hill turn left, back onto the Railway Road. It crosses a culvert to the left (Don’t go under the railway pass) and travels on to the settlement of Geurie. Here you will be greeted by the old town and wheat silos. Travel past these until you reach the turn to the right, to cross the highway into the main section of Geurie Town. The Devil Dog Coffee Shop in Geurie is a great stop for refreshments. You have traveled almost 12 km from Wongarbon.
There is a cottage at Wongarbon suitable for 4, the ‘Peppertree Cottage’ just behind the PO. Dinners can be arranged. To book, ring Suzie on (0422615945).

If you prefer to take an alternate route to Geurie you can take the ‘Tracker Riley Cycleway’ south (Margaret Crescent) until you reach Old Dubbo Road. Turn left into Old Dubbo Road and stay on this road for about 29 kms and it will take you to Geurie. About 35 km from the centre of Dubbo. the first 20 km are seal, then a good gravel road. Take care as there may be more traffic on the first section.
