Zeehan and the Heemskirk Range.
Hop on your bike and head into the hills for a distinctly West Coast experience.
Starting on the outskirts of the historic Zeehan, take a journey through rolling button grass hills to the remote peaks of the Heemskirk Range or get your flow fix from the top of Oonah Hill. Prepare to be transfixed by 360 degree views at every corner while immersing yourself in what the locals call “Silver City”.
Work is currently underway on new trails in the area, set to open later in 2022. Stay tuned for updates.
