Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Melbourne / Victoria
Alexandra is a small town on the Goulburn Valley Highway, a few kilometres from the stop, and it sits at the edge of the high country where the farmland of the Goulburn Valley meets the forested foothills of the Great Dividing Range. It was a gold and timber town in the nineteenth century, and the old buildings along the main street still show it. The Avenue of Honour, an avenue of memorial trees planted after the First World War, runs into town, and in autumn the leaves turn a spectacular red and gold, a quietly moving sight.

3. Back to High Country Omeo
Cranbourne sits on the south-eastern fringe of Melbourne, where suburb gives way to market gardens, horse paddocks and the flat country around Western Port Bay. For anyone returning from the Victorian high country this is the first sign of home, and the last place where the road stops feeling like countryside.
