The Bucketts Way is a 150-km scenic ride from Twelve Mile Creek to Taree, taking around 2 hours to complete. The route follows the course of the Karuah River, winding through the charming towns of Stroud, Gloucester, Krambach, and Burrell Creek before finishing in Taree. This iconic road is popular among motorcyclists for its blend of open stretches, gentle curves, and picturesque rural scenery.
Starting at Twelve Mile Creek, The Bucketts Way takes you through lush farmland, rolling hills, and dense forests. The road is fully sealed but can have rough patches, so it's best to stay alert, especially after rain. The journey offers a fantastic mix of straight sections and twisty segments, perfect for riders of all skill levels.
A must-stop along the route is Roadies Café in Gloucester, where you can take a break and enjoy a hearty meal. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and biker-friendly vibe, it's the perfect spot to relax, stretch your legs, and chat with fellow riders over a coffee or a burger.
As you continue, look for wildlife, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon when kangaroos and wallabies are more active. The route offers plenty of scenic pull-over spots where you can capture the beauty of the Karuah River and surrounding landscapes.
Whether planning a leisurely day trip or a more extended adventure, The Bucketts Way delivers an unforgettable ride with stunning scenery and charming stops.
