BicycleNSW has started a petition for allowing roll-on (unboxed) bikes on regional trains: https://www.change.org/p/roll-on-bikes-on-regional-trains-is-years-overdue
This is no ordinary petition; there is a PDF of briefing notes explaining why the changes are minimal and feasible: https://centralwestcycletrail.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Briefing-Note-%E2%80%93-Bicycles-on-NSW-Regional-Trains_v-13Mar23.pdf
If you'd like to cycle from Sydney to the regions (or the other direction) have a look!

@jakecoppinger I want to make some kind of map or viz about all the holidays you could make with a bike in NSW, not just rail trails... Small towns where the beach or the sites (cliffs for me) are 2-10km from town. Easily bikable distances, but too far for most to want to walk.
But maybe the cycle trail tourism argument is already sufficient.
