For the Australian FarRider in you
It's just a road...
FarRide Calendar for 2027
The considered long distance experience
Moree, NSW — Back Where It Began
10 April 2027 | FarRide
Return to Moree, where the first FarRide began. Take the long way, catch up with familiar faces and welcome a few new ones over a decent ride. A chance to remember how it started — and help write the next chapter.
Clare Valley, SA — Ride, Relax and Stay Awhile
15 May 2027 | FarNighter · Clare Valley Gourmet Festival
Good roads, good company and a gourmet weekend at the destination. Take the long way to the Clare Valley, settle in for a FarNighter and enjoy a region that gives you plenty of reasons to linger.
Farina, SA — Outback Roads and Bakery Fare
17 July 2027 | FarRide / FarNighter · Farina Bakery / Blinman
It’s just a road. For a few weeks each year, this one has a town at the end of it again. Head north for outback country, Farina’s bakery fare and a catch-up worth the miles, with FarRide and FarNighter options on the calendar.
Longreach, QLD — Big Skies and Aviation History
21 August 2027 | FarRide
Head for Longreach and the story of Qantas, with big skies and open country along the way. A long ride, a good catch-up and a destination with a special place in Australian aviation history. Make the journey part of the adventure.
Davo's Memorial Ride
11 September 2027 | Wilmington, SA | Memorial Ride
A ride to remember Davo and the friendships that continue to bring FarRiders together. Meet in Wilmington after noon for a catch-up before riding via Horrocks Pass to gather at the memorial at 2 pm.
Take the long way, share a story and spend some time with people who understand why the journey matters. Familiar faces and new riders alike are welcome as we honour his memory by doing what brought us together: riding.
It’s just a road. It’s the people who make it matter.
Natallie Hill Memorial Ride
18 September 2027 | Netallie Hill, Wilcannia, NSW
The Netalie Hill Memorial Ride holds a special place in the Australian long-distance riding community. It is an opportunity for Farriding Iron Butt riders to come together, remember friends who have ridden on, and honour the bonds forged through countless kilometres and shared adventures.
While this is an Iron Butt-centred event, its inclusion in the FarRiders calendar recognises that shared history, the friendships that endure across both communities, and the riders who helped shape them.
Beaufort, VIC — Miles, Mates and Steam
30 October 2027 | FarRide · Lake Goldsmith Steam Festival
Make tracks for Beaufort, with the Lake Goldsmith Steam Festival adding a little old machinery to the weekend. Enjoy the ride, catch up with fellow FarRiders and discover something different at the destination.
Race the Overland 3 — Melbourne to Adelaide
1 November 2027 | RTO
One train. Two cities. A day of railway-inspired shenanigans. Ride from Melbourne to Adelaide, following the railway’s path as closely as the roads allow, with the Overland setting the clock. The timetable is the challenge; the ride is the reward.
Rule No. 1: Come home safe.
2027 and beyond...
We plan to bring Farriders back to the community. This site will become the one stop for all things Farriding, whether it's to tell us about your rides in the coming forum, or looking up your ride history or just seeing what is coming up in the year ahead.
This will be your best destination once again.
