A
pleasant backroad ride from Berry to Bomaderry. There are a few short steep
hills, but you are rewarded with great views over closely
settled farming land. Return to Berry by the Princes Highway; highway is usually
busy, but runs through very picturesque country. This ride provides
an opportunity to visit some of the region's popular tourist attractions.
