I was woken during the night by rain and then kangaroos jumping around and munching on grass. They were gone by the time I got up.

This water body is called 'Big Swamp.' Mum and her cygnets.

The driver's door. If you know what a hundredweight is then you're older than I am. I had to google it.

On the way into town, I stopped at Boston Beans for an awesome coffee.

I then went to a French cafe for a fine lunch.

I checked into the caravan park and recognised Geoff's tent. He must be scampering about the town.

I went to a brewery in the hope that an ale will cure what ails me.

This place had a comprehensive list of various contacts for mental health assistance. This was on every table.

This will be the last time I see Geoff. He will keep on riding tomorrow and will soon head east to his home town of Albury, while I'll head south east following the coast.

I will stay here for 3 nights. I need to wait until Monday to do a frightful and playful adventure day.

The extra rest day should help heal my cold too.

Today's ride: 54 km (34 miles)
Total: 8,411 km (5,223 miles)
