We both loved Halls Gap, and its amazing kangaroo show. It’s the number one place we talk about going back to down there.

Are they like our deer in Victoria? So used to people that they continue on with what they're doing even though people are in range. I thought roos were dangerous!!

Do you know why the sheep seem to be in a line? Are they keeping a distance from the wind vanes?

I've never seen anything like this.....there must be hordes of rabbits for this to happen

Horribly invasive European rabbits...

G'day Margaret
36C is no longer unusual this time of year as climate change kicks in.

I was swooped by a magpie in a Melbourne suburb last Sunday but he did no damage. The best advice is to get out of his area as soon as possible.

Stay hydrated.

I have ridden most of the roads covered by your tour at various timesand Ipt goes through some interesting country.

That was a long day, especially in that kind of heat. Looks like the wine and pizza were well-received. After a rest I hope today's ride is shorter and/or cooler or both!!

Oh the pizza looks delish - love the wood fired oven!

Not sure about the wide brimmed hat under the helmet either. I understand the need to protect against the sun, but I would find that hotter than blazes!

Lovely, but not sure it is “you.”

Hello from the talking room! Thanks for the post, now I have something to read while enjoying my coffee in the morning.

i'm excited to follow along with you on this trip!

Never really noticed before, but the bike on the phone case looks like a Pinarello! Definitely no gravel gears on that one.

Have a fun trip, Murphy. And I love your owner's phone case!
