Kathleen it’s been a brilliant spring for spotting live reptiles while cycling. I’ve seen several snakes close up.
Yesterday on a local 10km on trails I saw about ten large lizards.

I am suddenly unsure about touring in Australia 😬.

Yes, I recognized it as a diamond python.

Bill I almost accidentally ran over it as it was crossing the road in low light. It’s a python. Non venomous I was told by a local.

Rich I carried it there. I hate getting sand in the drive train. :)

Rich there used to be a sign claiming Hyams Beach as having the world’s whitest beach sand. But it’s gone, or I couldn’t find it yesterday. It is very white. Sea grass beds in the marine park bay help keep the sea water very clean.

And that's a beautiful "look at my bike leaning on stuff" picture, by the way!

Looks pretty dang white to me. I wouldn't challenge the designation!

I can totally relate to that first day feeling. I try to remember that we just need to push through it, but sometimes the stress right at the start is a real challenge. I'm always convinced that I've forgotten one or more essential pieces of equipment, and Robin has to talk me down from the ledge.

On Saturday there’s a national referendum to add formal, written recognition (as an amendment to our national constitution) of Australia’s Indigenous people as our first people.

Sadly (to me) the pre election polls are indicating that the referendum will fail.

Yes to what, asks a Canadian who loves Australia?
