Getting Here
Backroads is based in the tiny town of Nabawa in the Shire of Chapman Valley, approximately 40km (30 minute) drive east of Geraldton in Western Australia. From Geraldton, simply follow Chapman Valley Road (and enjoy the scenery) until you see the Backroads signs.
Whilst you’re away from home, we recommend you extend your stay and take a good look around the Mid West or delve further into Australia’s magnificent Coral Coast - explore more.
From Perth
By Air:
Both Nexus Airlines and Qantas operate daily services to Geraldton with flight times under an hour. They may have limited space for bike boxes so consider booking early, which will also help with pricing. Be sure to arrive in Geraldton no later than Friday, and unless you’re doing a short event distance you are unlikely to make a return flight on Saturday, so book your accommodation for the weekend!
