Review Date: 22/08/2022
It's a nice walk/ride for the first time. After that it's boring, there's no scenery and all the streets look the same (to the point where you can get lost). It's an isolated area. You have an overpriced cafe in Nirimba and a very limited selection of shops in Baringa. Also need plenty of sunscreen because there's no trees out there, just a barren open wasteland. The bike paths are nice though.
