• The FNQ Wilderness Bike Tour (18th-25th September) is now taking registrations. Over eight days, this 520 km ride climbs through the World Heritage rainforest-covered mountains behind Cardwell, to Blencoe Falls, the Herbert River, Innot Hot Springs, Ravenshoe, Lake Tinaroo and through to Copperlode Dam and down to Cairns. Half is on sealed roads and half on dirt roads, so this ride requires mountain bikes or touring bikes with wider tyres. See http://www.fnqbiketour.org.au/
