Abercrombie Part 1 - Australian adventure riding

It’s time for another Australian adventure riding trip, and we’re heading into the steepest national park in New South Wales.

Located just over 200 km West of Sydney, Abercrombie National Park stands out with its unique Australian landscape. It may be the 'poor cousin' to the adventure riding capital, the Victorian High Country, but its deep valleys, steep gorges, rolling hills, and dense eucalypt forests offer some of the most breathtaking scenery. Notably, it boasts the steepest incline in the state.

Our campsite selection is a strategic process, often guided by innuendo; the Licking Hole seemed the perfect fit for our venturesome group, inviting us to explore.

Would this be more difficult than our previous rides in Boyd River and Yerrenderie, just east of Abercrombie? One particular spot had me concerned. But there is only so much a map could tell us, so we’d just have to make a call once we got there.

We could either take the northern approach, but instead, we decided to approach from the south, getting the highway section to Mittagong done first before heading down Wombeyan Caves Road across Goodmans Ford to Langs Road.
