Australia’s first affordable off-road navigation rally for motorcycle riders of all skill levels.

You don’t have to be a pro. You don’t need all the fancy gear. Start off-road rally riding and see how fun it is – all you need is a phone!

roadbook navigation

Looking for your next challenge? Have a go at navigating with a roadbook — just like they do in Dakar. No experience, fancy equipment or sponsor support required. Detailed instructions on every track and turn. It’s weirdly fun (so the good navigators say..)

Sick of solo rides?

Tired of riding alone? Trying (and failing) to herd your friends for a ride? Come to our events and upgrade your riding social life to legendary. Warning – it’s 3 days of non stop bike talk.

build your skills

Just starting out? Getting back into it? Got a new bike? Test your skills in a controlled environment. There’s always someone to help you pick up your bike and ride it out, and additional support from our expert trainers if you need it.

Ride with peace of mind

Riding in remote places is fun, and an incredible experience, but there are a few risks. We have full recovery and medical support so you can relax and enjoy the ride knowing you have people looking out for you and making sure you return home safe.

  • We didn’t take precedence over the town garage sale but hey, we’ll take what we can get 😂👊

    @suzukiaustraliabikes
    @aurora_rally_aus

  • Need to organise some new tyres? Bruce Collins Enterprises will be at OpenRoads Rally Broadford on Saturday selling @@shinko_tyres and @heidenau_tyres.

    Tyre delivery via mini bike upon special request 😎

  • Registration is now open for Broadford 2024! Head to www.tickets.openroadsrally.com and login. Go to My Account > Event Registration then hit Register on the Broadford event.

    All riding tickets need to complete:
    • Entry form
    • Self-scrutineering form

    • All kids we will register on the day.
    • No waiver forms need to be completed for this event.
    • If you have multiple bikes, register the one you will ride off-site on the trails. If you are not riding off-site (Park Pass, Social Pass) register the bike you will use the most.

    We have a few new processes in place at this event due to a changeover in insurance and new ticket types. So there may be hiccups in the system as we go. Please get in touch if you have any issues - hopefully it's nice and easy!

  • A few more days until our Early-Bird promo ends. Over half sold 💪

    MX, Enduro, Flat track and our signature Navigation Challenge. Let's make it our best one yet! See you there!

  • It's go time! We are packing today for the rally – any burning desires, questions, wants and needs please be aware that we are AWOL for the next few days setting everything up! We will do our best to get back to you when we can - otherwise see you Friday!

  • Your reminder to buy touch screen gloves if you're navigating with your phone or tablet! You'll need to scroll the roadbook and it will be WAY more enjoyable if you don't have to take your gloves off to do so. Cheap MX gloves usually do the trick!

    If you want to take it to another level, you can buy cheap bluetooth buttons from Jaycar or set up the buttons on your bike to scroll. See our Discord for more details 🤓

  • We are putting together a compilation of the best ORR videos of 2023. If you haven't sent yours in (maybe you recovered it from your Gopro after our event) please send through by this Sunday night!

    You can message it to us, upload to discord, email a link or we can email you a link to upload it.

    Stay classy

  • Yeahhhhh the girls! Pro motorcycle rider @tayla.street89 at ORR Myrtleford

  • Thank you everyone for an epic weekend! Awesome weather, great company, lots of laughs. Everybody got home safe and no injuries 💪 Good on all of you for having a crack and upskilling (sometimes accidentally) on the harder sections. Thank you for helping each other and thank you to all those who traveled such a far distance! Thanks to all our hard working volunteers, too many to name but Adam, Jessie, LeeRoy and both Sams - you guys put in so much time.

    Good luck all those returning to try their luck conquering the hill and congrats on those who made it up it 🤣 We will await your updates 😄

    Photos out soon!

  • Thank you everyone for such an epic weekend! It was so much fun to host you, I met so many cool people and I hope that you had as much fun as we did.

    Thank you to all our volunteers and crew, Luke, Dave, mum, Adam, Sam, Rohann, Andrew, Damian, Liam(s), Leigh, Curtis, David, PJ, Tania, Alora, Lindie, Serah, Jessie, Jake, all of our local sweeps, Paul, Kristian and Matt from Stay Upright, the crew from Machine Alley, the legends at SecMedic PLUS all of those who jumped in to lend a hand, or offered during the weekend.

    It takes a bloody lot of work to keep the cogs running but you did it beautifully and you made a lot of people very happy.

    Thanks to our awesome SPONSORS and partners - Aurora Rally Equipment Australia, SA1NT and KINCROME for your prizes, Stay Upright Australia Rider Training for sharing your knowledge, Machine Alley - DIY Workshop for keeping bikes running, SecMedic for keeping us safe and Suzuki Motorcycles Australia for your support.

    Thanks to all those who travelled far, some from north QLD, some from Tassie. We hope to see you again, either in VIC or on your home turf some day.

    We are stoked with how smooth the event ran, no incidents aside from during training on Friday (get well soon Cam!)

    Photos and wrap up video will come out soon. Tomorrow we depart for NSW, wish us luck and we will be in touch soon (customer service, responding to emails, merch etc).

    Jess & the ORR Crew 💪

  • It's go time! Thanks @motorcycleadventureproducts for your support this weekend – $500 in gift cards will be put to good use by the lucky winners!

  • New BMW models at OpenRoads Rally Broadford! We are excited to announce that @bmwmotorradaus will be attending their first OpenRoads Rally at Broadford 2024. They will be showcasing their new 1300 and 900GS models with live demonstrations.

  • Riding with your mates at the rally? Couple of good things to know 👉

    • If you have a lead navigator, remind them to stop slowly to check the roadbook and pull off the side of the road. Slamming on the brakes can lead to pile ups - especially around blind corners.
    • Sharing tools and tubes is OK - just make sure that the person who has the tools is always with the group.
    • All the accidents we've ever had have been on slippery gravel or graded dirt corners - easy tracks! Check your speed and don't try and keep up with the front.
    • You must individually stamp each card in order to be eligible for points
    • Have no friends, or your friends ditch you? You'll make new ones, and if you don't, come hang out with the volunteer squad!

  • Early bird catches the worm! Cheers to the winners of our Broadford 2024 Giveaway!

  • One week to go until OpenRoads Rally Desert Edition 💪! Found this at the local gas station today. Weather is fine and we can’t wait to host you next weekend 😁😁

    @suzukiaustraliabikes @aurora_rally_aus @stayuprightridertraining @bodriggybrewingco @secmedic_

  • Thanks @peterstevensofficial for your support at OpenRoads Rally Broadford this weekend! $200 worth of gift cards going out to some lucky winners 💪

  • Engage your users on social media with a Juicer.io feed on your website or blog for free.
  • 1 WEEK TO GO!

    Registrations in please everyone! For those of you who are technically challenged here's a photo of someone doing something seemingly impossible. In other words YOU CAN DO YOUR PAPERWORK 🤣❤️

    Vollies if you're planning on riding you will need to register too 👍

  • Old school paper roadbook set ups are OK at OpenRoads Rally Broadford 👌

    Due to floods and the ongoing degradation and rehabilitation of the tracks, roadbooks will be sent out as late as possible to ensure they are accurate. They may be sent out as late as Thursday - so plan in advance 👍

    As always, digital roadbooks are available for any device – mobile or tablet.
