COLLINSVALE + MOOGARA
120km
2,500m
Agrarian Kitchen
A challenging ride through raw Tassie backcountry.
Ride Overview
This route is not for the faint-hearted — but it is for those who want to experience the quiet, rugged backroads that make southern Tasmania so special.
Starting in Collinsvale, you’ll hit a steep gravel climb early on that earns you fast access to a rolling ridgeline and views over the Derwent Valley. Moogara is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it locality, but it marks the start of your descent into the valley, where rural charm and big skies take over.
The terrain changes quickly, and so does the mood — from forested climbs to sweeping farmlands and open gravel. Expect to feel a little remote out here (you are), so ride prepared.
Route Highlights
Quiet backroads with barely any traffic
Steep gravel climbs + epic descents
True Tassie wilderness with that "middle-of-nowhere" feel
Perfect for gravel or adventurous spirits
Tips Before You Go
We love this ride on a road bike, but you might feel a little bit more comfy on wider tyres if you’re not used to gravel - the gravel can be a little bit slippy during peak summer.
Limited water and resupply points — take more than you think you need
Good weather days make this route much more enjoyable
Why We Love It
It’s raw. It’s quiet. It’s the kind of loop you only do with good legs and a full bottle, but it gives you something no coastal ride can — a deep dive into Tasmania’s wilder side.
