Day 11: Pemberton to Yirra Kartta Hut

This segment starts with a visit to the massive Gloucester Tree, complete with metal rungs that you can climb up to 53 meters above. This day provides some of the most diverse terrain and scenery, from farmland to sandy tracks and thick forests; it’s easy to keep pedalling. There is a small general store in Northcliffe and the Northcliffe Bush Camp just outside of town, a great spot to spend the night. On the way to the Yirra Kartta Hut, there are constant reminders of the 2015 bushfires, but the hut itself and the large granite dome make for one of the most unique camping spots along the route.
