Hello friends in Australia --

I've got about 6 days vacation after an upcoming trip for work in Sydney late March. Do you have any suggestions on where is an enjoyable place to spend this time biking and camping around the country? I was thinking a roundtrip Adelaide to Barossa, but wanted any other good suggestions as well!

thanks!

Adelaide is a good place to start. The Barossa Valley is 80km North the direct way. So one day riding there, one day around the wineries (hiccup) and one day back. Then you could ride down to the Fleurieu Peninsula 100km South. One day riding there, one day riding around, one day back. There are some very quite back roads. The main roads (100kph zones) are not safe to ride on, most have no shoulder and lot's of heavy traffic, including semi's.
Another place is Bright. There are some amazing hill climbs around there.

CHEERS.
