Photos from Canberra
I spent this weekend down in Canberra town catching up with friends. To celebrate the weather gods brought out some imposing clouds, strong cold winds and sunshine. Here are my three favourite shots.
Thomas the Dutch Man’s Chain
When I rode out of Brisbane with Thomas there was little on my mind other than how noisy his chain was. Discussions worked out that he has been riding with the same chain on his rholoff hub for something like 17,000km from Melbourne, around Tasmania up to Sydney, around both islands of New Zealand then all the way from Sydney to Brisbane. After that day his chain still lasted him […]
Daisy Hill Mountain Biking
Today I went out to explore the mountain bike trails at Daisy Hill Conservation Park for the first time. It is 5 days since it last rained so I thought that there would be a bit of mud lying around but that the tracks would generally be dry enough to ride. How wrong I was…. It turns out that the tracks at Daisy Hill hold water like nowhere else, despite […]

This post follows on from my previous posts about Tasmania and it may be worth reading those posts first, alternatively enjoy! Waking up at Friendly beaches on the east coast of Tasmania is a lovely experience. Before packing up we made an exciting breakfast of museli and wandered down to the beaches.

Uluru Photos
So last week I spent the week in Alice Spring and did a trip out to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. I did a tour with Emu Run and I have to admit it was pretty awesome so I would recommend it if you are heading out there. I might write up a full description later, but here are some photographic highlights.
Long Weekend Cycle Tour – Rosewood – Lake Moogerah – Ipswich
It was a wet and windy weekend and all through the house chilly drafts filled every corner. The alarm stirred two sleepy figures who opened their eyes, mumbled a few words about how terrible it was and rolled over to go back to sleep. Ten minutes later one figure sat bolt upright and declared that it was time to go riding! Our plans for the weekend we’re fairly simple. We […]
