Define bush?
Two extremes
1) Follow the coast on the eastern side,
2) Go north from Melbourne to the middle of NSW, then head east when you are level with Sydney. This
is sort of a farming country bush.
If you want a mixture, then the Bicycle Australia Southern Cross Trail goes to Shepparton, Dookie,
Albury, Khancoban, then either
1 Tumbarumbar, Cootmundra, Harden, Yass (?), Goulburn, etc,, or
3) Snowy Mtns, Thredbo, Jindabyne, Cooma, Canberra, Goulburn, etc
Goulburn, Marulan, Bundanoon, Moss Vale, Hill Top, Picton & Campbelltown. BV (?) should have a
touring resource centre with old Freewheeling magazines covering this route. BA haven't put in on
the internet yet.
If by bush you mean trees, then look at Orbst(?), Cann River(?), ??? river in eastern Victoria.
Basically head east from Melbourne, follow the coast, then pick up one of the two river valleys that
take you towards Cooma. Martin ??? & Ray Peace guides might be useful.
