    30 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Returned to the Central Market to get food for the day. After, set off into the coolish morning heading for the South Australia Museum. A few interesting stops along the way. Good museum with an extensive exhibit of Aboriginal history and artifacts. Nice pastry break before walking along the river toward ghe botanical gardens. Nice exhibit of Chihuly art. Back to hostel for fish dinner.Читать далее

    Onto Adelaide

    29 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Beautiful morning for a bike ride along the coast. Lovely bike path right by the ocean. Dark clouds building around us. They do eventually open up on us. Follow a series of city cycle ways leading us into the city. Find our hostel, unpack and do some exploring. Go out for very good Greek dinner.Читать далее

    Vineyard trail to Moana

    28 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Start our day with a pancake breakfast - out. Pretty good but spendy and small. Start our ride along the coast and quickly head up a steep hill. Nice views but tough climb. Pass a rather large Chinese temple. Decide to take scenic route on the Coast to Vines rail trail. Surrounded by vineyards. Do stop at a winery for some tasting but have to race to campground in Moana before dark.Читать далее

    Normanville

    27 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Pack up and head up and through the Inman Valley. Finally have more trees! Lots of grazing animals and a few kangaroos. Stop for a pastry and opt to go to Normanville and the beach. Set up before taking a nice long walk down the beach. Apparently, there had been a great white shark spotted recently along this beach. We only see a few dead fish. Big camp kitchen is full of teens on a school kayak trip.Читать далее

    Exploring The Bluff

    26 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    As we have lots of time to get to Adelaide, spend another day around Victor Harbor. Beautiful sunshine gives way to some clouds and drizzle but we continue down cycle path the the end - the bluff. Spot dolphins frolicking in the water before hiking up to the top. Find an echidna and a little burrowing scrub like animal. Walk along the beautiful coastline. Day turns cold and windy so spend most of the remainder inside the warm TV room.Читать далее

    Victor Harbor

    25 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Opt to move to Victor Harbor as it seems better placed for exploring. Ride along the Encounter Cycleway - with the ocean on one side and lovely homes on the other. Arrive in VH and check in. Walk back to town - bustling as it’s a public holiday (Anzac Day). Walk along causeway to Granite Island.Читать далее

    Goolwa

    24 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    A longer bit more interesting day of riding. Much of the morning was flat nothing but we entered a wine region and then returned to the coast. The day was quite warm - a pleasant change. Stopped for lunch by the lake. Battled a bit of wind and some short but steep hills as we rolled through more grapes to Goolwa. Found a spot in a busy campground. Out for Thai dinner.Читать далее

    Wellington

    23 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    Short day planned. Fart around a bit before getting on the road. Very clear and sunny day with minimal wind. Leave Lake Alexandria behind and surrounded by lots of nothingness. The vastness and emptiness is at times mind numbing. Ride on. Make it to almost nonexistent town of Wellington and take ferry across the Murray river. Set up in caravan park and sit around for awhile. Short little walk along the river. Make dinner in a tiny box/kitchen.Читать далее

    Meninge

    22 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Beautiful morning and the Roos are out to greet us. Take a short walk over the dunes to the beach. Sooooo long and deserted. Make our way back to the main road and with another tailwind continue our northward journey. Road goes along the water for awhile, breaking up the monotony of coastal flats. Short lunch break and finish our 90 kms at Meninge. Check into campground, get food, take showers and make dinner.Читать далее

    Fly along Coorong Peninsula

    21 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    Still windy but they are going our way. Big day ahead of us so hit the road early. Zoom along to Kingston (through vineyards) and pick up a bit of food and water. Uncertain whether we will have access to any water for a few days (no services for 144 km). Pass the giant lobster and travel along coast (though can’t see it as separated by a bit of land and dunes). 110 kms and we reach our turn off. Short, but nasty stretch to 42 mile campground. Find a nice secluded spot, set up and make dinner.Читать далее

    Stormy in Robe

    20 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

    Rain and wind continued all night long - as predicted. No desire to ride in it. After a bit rain stops and we head off on a walk about. Don’t get very far as it begins to rain again. Duck into a cafe for a bit before getting ice cream (it was good enough to want it even in nasty weather) and then going to the movies. Pick up food and return to packed kitchen/sitting area. Find a bit of space and somehow manage to make and eat dinner.Читать далее

    Battling the wind

    19 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

    Depart early from Beachport, heading directly into a strong wind. Though it’s very flat, we crawl along. Spy a few interesting animals along the coastal flatlands. Finally arrive in Robe and opt to stop. Check in to caravan park and then head into town. Have terrific ice cream for lunch and then walk along coastline. Check out the local brewery which is hopping. Fish n’chips ends our day.Читать далее

    Beachport

    18 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Relatively early start after a big breakfast. Day is sunny but windier than we expected. Roll along small hills as we leave Mountain Gambier and ride through many miles of sheep and cows. Do stop at a small sinkhole/cave. As it is Good Friday, a public holiday, most things are closed and trucks are thankfully off the road. Stop in Millicent for coffee and continue riding until we return to the ocean at Beachport. Campgrounds are packed but we are able to secure a spot. Check out ocean and very long jetty. See our first wombat - in the campground!Читать далее

    Mount Gambier

    17 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    A rainbow and very brief rain showers starts our day. Pack up anyway and ride down forest road full of wallabies and kangaroos. Once we emerge from the park, spot our first emus. They are very quick so hard to get a photo before they go hide in the bush. Cross over into South Australia, taking a very quiet road to Mount Gambier. Get food and meet up with our warmshowers host, Theo, who tours us around the crater lakes and town. Back for nice dinner and conversation.Читать далее

    Glenelg National Park

    17 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Depart from Portland, taking what we thought would be a quieter road. Unfortunately, if was a logging route and main thoroughfare for trucks in general. Do spot almost 10 koalas along the road, swinging in their trees. Finally pull off big road and head down a rough track into Glenelg park. Fortunately the road improves and we cruise into our campsite. Take a quick dip in the chilly river. Wait a bit too long to start dinner and have to fend off the possums. They eventually knock our Brussel Sprouts over but we protect our lasagna. Nice fire helps to keep them at bay.Читать далее

    Portland?!

    15 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Sunny and relatively calm day. Head off on very busy Princes Highway. Though we have ridden a lot of it since Sydney, it seems particularly busy with trucks. Do spot quite a number of koalas on our way. Early arrival, check in and wander into Portland - a relatively busy port town. Back for a very nice lasagna dinner.Читать далее

    Griffiths Island & Port Fairy

    14 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Rest day. Head into town for very nice breakfast. Sun is out but wind is cool. Put more clothes on and wander over to the beach and Griffiths Island. Walk around it, spying many underground bird nests and a few wallabies. Apparently the shearwaters (mutton birds) come back here every spring to mate and then fly to Alaska for their summer. Hang out for the rest of the day at the beach, hunkered behind rocks to stay out of the wind.Читать далее

    50 miles of cows

    13 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Morning oddly warm and there is a strong wind from the north. What should have been an easy, flat ride became challenging as we battled the wind. Scenery doesn’t help as it’s a lot of cows and sheep - though a few camels and alpacas break up the monotony. Arrive in Warrnambool and ponder our options. Decide to keep going to Port Fairy. Much less wind! Wash off the road grime and bugs and get some food.Читать далее

    AWEsome coast line

    12 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Our Roo friends have joined us in the campground overnight. Takes a bit to dry everything (lots of condensation) but a bright sun helps. Short ride to first look out over the 12 Apostles. Make many stops, taking the short walks to catch incredible views. Many tourists ‘blocking the views’ with their selfie taking. Stop in Port Campbell and have lunch with a father- daughter pair riding across Australia. Opt to only go a bit farther and stay in Peterborough. Take a short walk to the local beach and watch the surf.Читать далее

    DOWN to the coast

    11 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    One of those rare days with more down than up planned. Wake up to a wet cloud hovering over us. Manage to dry off before setting out. Ride through the farm land until we hit Lavers Hill and the return to the GOR. Fast and winding descent! Opt for a dirt road along the estuary. All is fine until the road is flooded. Attempt to ride through but hit a deep spot and tumble in. Oh well almost to Princeton and campground. Surrounded by kangaroos and wallabies!Читать далее

    UP to Beauchamp Falls

    10 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    A very large hill awaits us as we bid farewell to the ocean and head inland, momentarily off the GOR. A steady climb of almost 10 miles and we are at 1800 ft - highest thus far in Australia. Turn on to Turtons track and wind along a very narrow forest. Trees start off very tall but then get shorter as we hit a plateau and area of a lot of logging. Turn on to our gravel road and go down a bit to Beauchamp Falls campground. Set up and then take the short walk to beautiful falls. A few other campers join us, but it’s very quiet!Читать далее

    Skenes Creek

    9 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Short day planned so no rush getting out. Allowed the sun to warm the air up. Head out along the GOR. The road is narrow and twisty and clings to the rocks. Fortunately, traffic is light. Beautiful coastline. Stop to seek out koalas on a nature walk. Do spot one there and then one hanging out in a tree by the road. Arrive in Skenes creek. Check out beautiful beach, rocks and tide pools. Sun sadly disappears behind clouds and it gets cool again.Читать далее

    Bushwalk in Great Otway NP

    8 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    After breakfast, walk up out of town to start of our bush walk in the Great Otway NP. Quickly the trees get tall as we leave the ocean behind. Very dry path. “Phantom Falls” isn’t even a trickle. Walk through the narrow Canyon and then enter a wetter part of the bush. Next set of falls actually has some water. Continue along St George river - searching for platypuses. No luck. But do see a koala as we walk back along coast to town. Nice pizza dinner!Читать далее

    Day start’s annoyingly as someone had stolen my towel from the bathroom during the night. Pack up and head out into grey morning. Though we start on the busy GOR, veer off into the countryside. Spot a few Roos before rejoining the big road. Stop at overwhelming chocolate factory. Short stop for lunch, gazing at the ocean. Arrive in Lorne and check into campground.Читать далее

    A walk along the coast

    6 апреля 2025 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

    Set off on a hike along the coastal walk. Watching surfers riding very large waves. Though it is somewhat sunny, cool temperatures and strong wind make swimming impossible. Do manage to get toes in and the water is about as warm (20 C) as the air. Return to campground and have nice salmon dinner.Читать далее
