Upper Kangaroo River and Return

Kangaroo Valley to Nowra via Mt Scanzi

A hard back-road ride from Kangaroo Valley to Nowra, but well worth the effort for the views and the variety of bush and wildlife. You first climb on bitumen away from Kangaroo Valley before the steep gravel ascent up Mt Scanzi (with magnificant views back over the valley), before a long fast descent into the Bugong Creek valley through damp rainforest. There is one creek crossing impassable after heavy rain. The road remains gravel to Emerys Road. Follow the road East to Nowra through the hills above the Shoalhaven River.
