Unfortunately the 2012 Terra Australis which was due to run in early February has been postponed. The event will be moved to the back half of 2012, dates yet to be advised.

Teams of amateur and pro riders will pedal their way across the rooftop of Victoria and into the luscious alpine valley’s of North East Victoria. It will be a true test of their physical endurance and mental resolve but the sense of personal achievement will last a lifetime. 550+ km’s…..7 days….. 15,000+ mts of ascent later they will gather and celebrate their own personal victory in TERRA AUSTRALIS 2011.

TERRA AUSTRALIS will offer 7 age/gender categories in 2012.

Categories offered are Open Men – Open Women – Open Mixed – Masters (80+) Men – Masters (80+) Mixed - Super Masters (100+) Open Gender and a new category for 2011, Grand Masters (120+) Open Gender.

Riders in the Open categories can be any age but must be over 18 on the start date of the event. For the Age categories, the calculation is based on the total age of both riders. For example, a 35 yo and a 47 yo can team up and register for the 80+ category. This is a new innovation for TERRA AUSTRALIS in 2011. The idea is to blur the edges of the age categories so hopefully it will make it a little easier to find your ideal race partner for 2012.
