The coastal ranges of
Queensland make for great mountain biking.
The sport is particularly popular in
Brisbane, where favourite
destinations include Daisy Hill and a purpose-made course at Kooralbin. Nerang
State Forest is popular with
Gold Coast riders and further north good touring
can be enjoyed in Crediton State Forest, inland from Mackay. Mountain biking in Cape York can be an enthralling experience,
though cyclists need to be aware of the danger of a crocodile attack when
fording rivers.
Cairns, especially the area around Smithfield, is a centre for
downhill cycling.
