The small country town of Kyogle is an ideal base for a gravel event defined by quiet roads, varied terrain and a strong sense of place.

Located in Northern New South Wales, Kyogle sits around 2 hours from the Gold Coast and 3 hours from Brisbane by road. It’s close enough to be easily accessible, yet feels far removed from both. Surrounded by rolling farmland, forested ranges and pockets of subtropical rainforest, the region offers some of the most beautiful and under-ridden gravel roads in Australia.

Kyogle has long been shaped by agriculture and forestry, and today remains a welcoming country town with a relaxed pace and strong community identity. It’s the kind of place where events naturally centre around the town itself, with riders, supporters and locals sharing the same spaces over the weekend.

Events Headquarters

Event headquarters is proposed to be based at the Kyogle Showgrounds, providing a central, practical and community-focused hub for the event.

The showgrounds offer ample space for event operations, parking, camping and post-ride recovery, all within easy walking distance of the town centre.

The name Kyogle

It is believed to come from a local Aboriginal word for the bush turkey, a bird commonly found throughout the surrounding forests and farmland. It’s a small but meaningful connection to the landscape, and one that has influenced the race’s colour palette and visual motifs. Like the region itself, the bush turkey is resilient, unmistakably local, and perfectly at home in rugged country — a fitting symbol for an event shaped by the terrain around it.
