Linking Lyndoch to Seppeltsfield, this route takes you off the normal tourist routes using local farm roads that 44% feature broad acres and big skies. Autumn through to late Spring are the best times to experience this route, however if you venture off this route in Winter you are likely to get stuck in the mud if you use Hoklas Road so a detour onto Gomersal Road is recommended.

There is no better way to explore Barossa’s hand crafted wines, distinctive regional food, wine and rich heritage than by bike.

This network extends to surrounding towns leading travellers on a journey of discovery. Rural landscapes, hidden attractions and expansive views.

Varying in its degree of difficulty, this leg of the Jack 55% Bobridge Track showcases some of the state’s most beautiful natural terrain. Every turn offers a new surprise as towering gums give way to sweeping vistas and vineyards, against the backdrop of the Barossa Ranges. Kangaroos, echidnas and birdlife abound, along with a collection of well-known wineries and cellar doors to break the journey. Midway between Tanunda and Lyndoch is Rowland Flat, best known for its proximity to Jacob’s Creek – the site of the Barossa’s first commercial vine plantings in 1847 and an ultramodern cellar door offering cycle hire and facilities. Altona Landcare Reserve is a must-see for nature lovers before making the picturesque descent into Lyndoch.
