Hema Maps launches new edition of Motorcycle Adventures
Hema Maps, Australia’s leading publisher of trusted and verified maps, is thrilled to announce the release of a new edition guidebook: the 7th Edition Motorcycle Adventures: Discover Australia’s Top 200 Rides.
This new 7th Edition of the bestselling Hema Australia Motorcycle Atlas, now called Motorcycle Adventures: Discover Australia’s Top 200 Rides, has been updated with the latest ride distances, trip highlights and vital information.
Discover Australia’s TOP 200 rides, organised by state/territory, with details including start and finish points, motorcycle suitability (Adventure, Cruiser, Sports and Tourer bikes), distance and relevant contact information.

Author Steve Kealy is a bike magazine editor and former racer turned adventure tourist who has ridden — and got lost — on every continent except Antarctica. Steve comments: “Over the years since this book was originally written by Peter ‘The Bear’ Thoeming, many things have changed, so this latest edition has been extensively researched to include up-to-date information. Some dirt tracks have been sealed, some roads have been extensively rebuilt after they were damaged by landslips, floods or bushfires, and still others have closed entirely.”
This new edition has a number of updates, however what remains is the compact size, designed to fit in your tank bag or pannier. This guidebook is the perfect companion for riders keen to explore and discover our beautiful nation.
Each ride features a map reference, which corresponds to the Hema Australia Road & 4WD Handy Atlas (185mm x 248mm). You can purchase the companion Handy Atlas on the Hema Maps website or at leading retail stores.
This 160-page guidebook is packed with more detail than ever before, all of which has been extensively field checked by Hema’s Map Patrol and Alpha Teams.
On the release of this new product, Hema Maps Chairman Sam Hayward comments, “Author Steve Kealy has done an excellent job to bring together and update some of the wonderful rides throughout our great country. He’s a source of inspiration for our friends on two wheels.”
With comprehensive details on self-drive motorcycle rides, ride distances, visitor information centres, trip highlights and more, you can enjoy countless rides around Australia through some of the country’s most iconic and beautiful scenery.
The 7th Edition Motorcycle Adventures: Discover Australia’s Top 200 Rides ($29.95) is available now on the Hema Maps website and at leading retail stores.
