Warning - you are viewing a past event

Ride from Castlemaine railway station to the town of Guildford, 10km West of Castlemaine. Guildford’s Big Tree Park is home to a gigantic River Red Gum 500 to 1,000 years old! Due to its great age, numerous hollows have formed within the tree providing habitat for many creatures. This tree is an eco-system which sustains a vast range of bird and animal life including magpies, rosellas, lorikeets, parrots, kookaburras, wood ducks, boobook owls, honey eaters, numerous species of insects, native bees and possums. Also, in Guildford see the statue of local hero Ron Barassi and many old gold rush buildings. We will cycle along the Midland highway, which has a wide shoulder and not much traffic, and along quiet backroads. Return to Castlemaine via the same route for lunch. Meet 10:30am Castlemaine railway station.
