Tracker Riley Cycleway
A loop cycleway along both banks of the Macquarie River, linking the city centre, botanic garden and zoo; you can ride all the way to the zoo.
The cycleway is named after Indigenous tracker Alexander 'Tracker' Riley. It runs along both banks of the Macquarie River, linking the city centre, Elizabeth Park, the botanic garden, the zoo and Dundullimal Homestead. The route is flat and shaded, with river red gums and birds visible along the banks. Many visitors hire bikes in town, ride the cycleway to the zoo and then continue around the zoo's loop road. Along the way there are railway bridges, riverbanks and picnic spots. It is free throughout, and in summer it's best to avoid the midday heat.
