Your first stop should be the Glass House Mountain Cafe. If you’re an early bird, make sure to check their opening hours before you head out. Before reaching the cafe, take a moment to enjoy the breathtaking lookout point.

As you continue, the gravel becomes a bit more technical, with larger loose rocks and a rougher surface. Don’t rush through this section; take your time to savor the increasingly spectacular views.

The adventure intensifies when you find yourself lifting your bike over a gate to continue on the gravel road. The stunning scenery will leave you in awe.

As you pass Beerburrum and cross the Bruce Highway, the landscape transforms. You’ll encounter taller grass and a single track winding alongside tall pine trees. This section is flatter compared to the earlier parts, featuring long, straight gravel roads that invite you to pick up the pace.

We opted to refuel at the Caboolture Shopping Center after 63km. It’s a good idea to stock up here, as options become scarce later on, and the terrain gets a bit more challenging.

Continuing on to Beerburrum West State Forest, you’ll notice an increase in traffic with trail motorbikes and their enthusiasts. This area is popular with motorcyclists, so be prepared for more activity on the road.

The final stretch of the ride is more undulating, with a couple of notable climbs—one reaching a steep 13% gradient for a short duration. Instead of retracing your steps, we took a scenic detour through some additional gravel sections you won’t want to miss.

Overall, this route offers an incredible gravel adventure. However, proper planning is essential to fully enjoy the experience.

Tips:

• Avoid this route during the wet season to steer clear of muddy conditions.
• Start early in the morning to dodge the heavy traffic of trail motorbikes.
• Plan your refueling stops carefully, as options are limited once you’re deep into the gravel sections.
