Jindabyne to Cowra
7 February 2019
Master Map
My destination was Cowra to visit my wife's sister.
The route took me across the high country to Adaminiby …
… where I stopped for breakfast and was pleased to see the Big Trout was still in residence. Mindful of my mechanic friend in Bairnsdale, I also oiled the chain in honour of the bath it had received.
Then it was off across the slightly higher country …
… and into the wooded area near Cabramurra …
… where I stopped to take a photo or two from the lookout of one of Australia's highest towns.
The crud was accumulating well on the bottom of the bike.
The view north from Cabramurra.
After turning onto the Tooma Road, I stopped to put on my waterproofs and catch a picture of this milestone. The GPS data for this photo recorded by my phone is just plain wrong. By about 17 kilometres.
And that was it for photos as my camera was tucked away to avoid the rain which came and went all day. I did stop once to take this photo which completely fails to show what I wanted it to: the point where the eastern mountains end and the flat of Australia's centre begins. Suffice it to say that, to the left of the hills you see in the distance, it is very flat indeed.
