Bikepacking365 - Epic Australian Adventures

Left Wodonga on Saturday 14th March for 6 days of touring through the mountains. First day was just along the kiewa valley Highway to Mt Beauty & up the Falls Creek rd about 5 kms & into the bush to camp. A head wind slowed progress some. Then Sunday was a big day riding up towards Falls creek. I decided to take the roper track & onto Big Hill track. This was very steep the first part. I came across a Blue Tongue lizard  on the track & had a rest. Then there was another little lizard. The day was going quick with slow progress. I reached just below Big hill tower around 1pm. After this the track got easier & then I turned down hill until I reached the west Kiewa logging rd. Quiet late around 2pm by now. Kept going up & along this rd. Coming accross a Copper head snake which moved of the rd once it noticed me. Doing lots of video & photos the day quickly progress. It was 3pm now & I  continued upwards. Hard ...

Friday the 6th of March 2020. I left Wodonga on Tuesday & left the extrawheel trailer. I broke the back axle attachment. I used a wrench instead of a Allen key. I've ordered another. On Tuesday night I set camp north of Yarrawonga.  On high ground next to the Murray river. Next morning it was raining & didn't stop much for the next two days. On Thurday my water filter was just taking for ever. So I decided to cycle in the rain to Cobram to get water supplies. I got drowned like a rat in the process. Bought 9 rolls of toilet paper & I was lucky to get that. Some veggies etc. Started cycling back & lucky the rain cleared. So by the time I was back I was half dry. My phone had charged on the werk attached to the dynamo to 45 % from 6 % & I used it in the town for a bit. The sun was shining so out with the 60 watt solar charger to fully charge the phone. About 1 half hours later. That was yesterday today it was dry so I packed up. Rang fruit...

Exploring The Word By Bicycle   I have sold the car. So I'm full time on the bike. The way it's supposed to be. I left Wodonga on the Friday 21st of February.  It's been six days now.  My legs are very sore / recovering after a big day on Monday. After leaving Wodonga I cycled the freeway to Rutherglen looking for work. The job did not workout.  That's ok might go for a short tour to get back to Wodonga in over a week. So I head for the town of Bright joining the rail trail on the way. Once on the rail trail it's very safe with no motorized traffic.  This makes cycling most enjoyable.  I was carring lots of supplies for a week or two of food. Lot's of items I would use at a caravan park which has made for a heavy load. Ive now got the Extrawheel Mate trailer which is working out really good. The bike had a bit of the swaying at speed to start. So I've transferred all the heavy items to the trailer. This has worked out really g...
