Day 6 starts out from Wingham Showground.  A shuttle bus will be provided for all riders and trucks for their bikes up to Comboyne, where a breathtaking view awaits. As a requirement of the event, the NSW Police and RTA have requested us to shuttle our riders up to Comboyne Hill via an alternate route as the buses will not make it up the unsealed section. We appreciate a lot of riders would prefer to ride but it is very rough and windy. Rest assure the view is beautiful and you will enjoy the ride down to Wauchope making for a fast finish to the campsite and the home of Timbertown.

The dairy-farming village of Comboyne is perched high on an open plateau and surrounded by lush farmland and rainforest, and is our lunchtime destination on this day.

From Comboyne, the road winds its way back down the mountain rainforest towards Wauchope. Stop halfway at Blue Poles Gallery in Byabarra, one of those almost mythic places you all too occasionally stumble across – an out-of-the-way place that really does serve good coffee! Inside is a large gallery with changing monthly exhibitions and breathtaking valley views.

Wauchope is the centre of the local dairy and cattle industries and the gateway to over 40,000 hectares of National Parks and state forests. This bustling rural community is rich in history and bursting with country hospitality.

Explore the tiny historic timber-getting villages that dot the countryside around Wauchope, like charming Beechwood on the Hastings River. Call into Hastings Valley Olives near Yarras at Birdwood for some virgin olive oil tastings and browse their extensive range of gourmet treats, hand-made soaps, skincare and beauty products.

Pioneer history comes to life at Timbertown in Wauchope, a working recreation of a 19^th century timber getting village complete with steam train, Cobb & Co coach rides, Clydesdale horses and bullock team.
