TRIP NOTES
This journey has an easy section at first but finishes with a challenging hill. Leave Geurie by turning into Mitchell Street traveling south and cycling up a slight climb passed the Bald Hill Reserve. Mitchell Street then turns left and becomes Arthurville Road. Cycle along this road and you will cross the Macquarie River on an old timber truss bridge after 4 km. Turn left into River Road (8.8km) and soon after pass by the Ponto Falls. This was a natural river crossing used by coach travelers in the 19th C and today is used by canoeists and picnickers.
The road now becomes Bushrangers Creek Road. At 25.1 km there is a welcome picnic place by the river after which the road rises fairly steeply over Mount Arthur and down into Wellington.
At wellington you arrive beside the beautiful large Bell River Park with just a short distance straight ahead to the Post Office in Maughan Street.
Wellington: offers a myriad of accommodation both in hotels, motels, and Bed & Breakfasts. Wellington Visitor’s centre However The Bridge Motel in Wellington is especially friendly to cyclists!
