Cycle Tour Ballarat to Naracourte

 Email Moz

I went from Melbourne to Adelaide over new year 2004, riding from Ballarat to Naracorte. Covered about 700km in two and a half weeks of riding. More details in the written journal.

Organised photos... journal scenic people art photos bike signs wildlife everything

Bike mechanic with a whizzy track bike. Mostly it has 10mm pitch chain rather than the usual half inch (12.4mm). Slightly hard to tell in this photo, but take my word for it ;-) All the special chain does is give slightly more teeth on the cogs, so you get more gearing choices and possibly lighter weight. Tatts! Damon Dallas does the radio geek thing at me. When I get my scanner back off Sonia now I know more about how to use it. Potentially very useful. We stayed with Bill in Melbourne. Very cool - he's getting into bike building and is even more into deep environmentalism than I am. \nBill with his 300D. He had issues uploading files from his microdrive, but I think got his photos off it. Formatting the drive fixed the problem. Instruction manual in their toilet. I like it! Me on a fully faired Trisled. Very fast, and surprisingly light. I was impressed, especially when I got hit by a bit of a wind gust and it was more stable than I expected. About 25kg I think. On the road at last! Sonia once they let here out, with her face still quite swollen up. Lake Burrumbeet. Apparently you can just about walk across it with this little water in it. The campground looked poxy, and there wasn't anything to do except sit in it, so we didn't stay. Riding past the other side of the lake once we were back on the main road. Sonia camped at Trawalla. He's not actually in prison, just in a swimming pool. But... people who smoke around their kids? Me and Sonia at Ararat in a camp ground. She'd taken about 5 photos by this stage, so I started playing with her camera. Hence this shot. Sonia camped in Ararat. Ladies, Gentlemen and Umpires??? Kids at Venus Baths. Kids running around the the rock face opposite the track. Steep, but not that steep - definitely possibly to walk up it without using your hands in most places. Sonia. 2003_12_27 grampians natl park Not camping, just having a nap. Le Chef at work. Sonia cruising along in the heat of the day. We were getting over 30 degrees most days. View from my campsite up the road out of the park, looking towards Mt Abrupt The waterhole where I camped. You can possibly see my hammock if you squint. There were a lot of Santas next to the road going into Dunkeld, including this one that I particularly liked. The pub at Coondah or somewhere like that. In the middle of the wheat belt and 60km of boringness. A disused church, with disused church dunny. Paraglider slope soaring off the cliffs at Portland. camping in a camp ground. Uggh! Rarely do I find road signs remarkable, but in this case I can only agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly. Swimming in Ewens Ponds. The water is cold! flies love wetsuits in the sun. Which kept them off the rest of us to some extent. Breakfast in Telford Scrub Conservation Park Emma making parrot costumes. TJ sewing.
