Updated 13/03/25 to confirm Condobolin as D3 overnight stop.

Keen on NSW’s Riverina and Central West regions? Then why not join the Club for a multi-day ride on sealed roads following Billabong Creek from source to mouth, through Morven, Culcairn, Walbundrie, Rand, Jerilderie, Conargo and Moulamein? At 320km in length, it’s purportedly the longest creek in the world! Heading home via Maude, Hay, Hillston and Condobolin.

Outbound Saturday (overnighting in Culcairn), riding Sunday (overnighting in Moulamein), riding Monday (overnighting Condobolin) and returning home on Tuesday. Short on time? Then join the first leg to Adaminaby for coffee or come along for one, two or three nights – your choice!
