Tarana Road is a picturesque ride through the stunning Central Tablelands of New South Wales, connecting the towns of Oberon and Tarana. The route takes about 45 minutes, making it a perfect short ride for those seeking a mix of thrilling twists and scenic countryside.
The road is fully sealed but not well-maintained, with sweeping bends and gentle hills offering a relaxing yet engaging ride. The surrounding landscape is quintessentially rural, with lush farmland, rolling hills, and glimpses of the Great Dividing Range in the distance. Along the way, you’ll encounter several lookouts and quiet spots where you can stop to appreciate the region's beauty.
A highlight of the ride is the quaint village of Tarana, where you can enjoy a break at the historic Tarana Hotel, known for its friendly atmosphere and delicious country-style meals. This stop is a favourite among motorcyclists, offering a chance to relax and chat with fellow riders.
While Tarana Road is a relatively easy ride, caution is advised during wet weather, as the hilly terrain can make the road slippery in places. Its light traffic and scenic charm make it an excellent choice for riders of all experience levels looking for a peaceful countryside escape. Whether as part of a longer journey through the Central Tablelands or a standalone trip, Tarana Road promises a delightful ride filled with natural beauty and a touch of local history.
