While living in Alice Springs, Chris Baillie got hooked on cycling up and down huge dunes and along sandy river beds. He’s brought a little of his favourite desert pastime to Kilcunda, where he hosts beach cycling tours. The bikes here have slightly deflated tyres for gliding across the sand dunes, making the tours suitable for both casual and keen cyclists. Tours encircle either 10, 24 or 44 kilometres of the coastline, taking in sights from the Kilcunda Trestle Bridge to the mouth of the Powlett River, Wonthaggi Heathlands, Wonthaggi Wind Farm and the Bass Coast Rail Trail.
