Budderoo track is located near Robertson in the NSW southern highlands. It straddles the scenic highlands on the western ridge of Budderoo National Park, and is a perfect combination of adventure and nature for cyclists. 

Passing through forests of bloodwood, you might glimpse a swamp wallaby grazing in the grassy woodlands. When the weather warms up, the heathlands erupt in a carpet of colour. The vibrant wildflowers in spring make this a perfect birdwatching spot. Keep an eye out for the superb fairy wren and tawny crowned honey eater.

You can cycle as much or as little of this track as you like. Stop for a picnic and while away a relaxing afternoon or cycle the whole track.

If you chose to hike Budderoo track as a return walk, please note that it will take more than 7 hours and there are no facilties along the way. Bring plenty of water and a hat as the majority of this trail extends through heathland with very little shade. 

It's you'd like to stay in the area longer you could round off your trip with a visit to Jamberoo lookout and Minnamurra Rainforest Centre.
