Welcome

Hi and welcome. This is a blog mostly about motorcycle touring. Originally started to show places to ride in my area, it now covers many of the best riding roads in Australia - but the info is scattered about. I had taken a break recently and experimented with social media but will return to blogging in 2013 when I will be riding many more places in Asia. Thanks for visiting, IC.

Great motorcycle roads # 22



I have to admit this is one road I have never looked at before - but its quite allright.

Kilcoy - Jimna Rd.

From Kilcoy you cant miss the sign post at the clock roundabout to Jimna. This road starts off quite open and flowing with lots of gentle sweeping corners taking you through some nice countryside, then after about 30 k you have this nice little range to climb with lots of tight corners and some faster flowing stuff all mixed in - right in the middle of nowhere with hardly any traffic whatsover. Some views of the huge pine forests of Blackbutt range are visible in places and then you come to Jimna and as of writing this I am told you should turn around here as gravel road further north - but its just as nice a ride back to town.

If you were going to Kilcoy from Glorious and Somerset then this is worth including.

  1. I have ridden this road a few times when I used to live in Brisbane. It is a cracking road and most of the time there is little traffic and you can ride it with confidence. It is about an 80km round trip so fill up at Kilcoy if you need to and it is well worth the detour.
