Day 1 on the road to Temora, bikes all loaded up! Lots of land out there in NSW!
Morning Tea stop- food tasted so good when riding!
My bike all loaded up and ready to go!
Loved travelling down roads I had never been before and places I had never heard of either.
Had quite a few dirt and gravel roads to negotiate, our naviagators got us there safely every day!
Grong Grong, Wagga Wagga- all these double names!
First challenge each morning was to find the local bakery- sampled hot cross buns from 4 bakeries along the way- always good riding food for me! It was a chilly start around 4 degrees!
About to take the back road to Wagga Wagga
First 25km to Wagga were nice and flat- often had the Murrimbidgee in sight!
Time for a photo by the river with my trusty stead!
It seems we were always passing signs to Grong Grong- will have to see if there is anything there one day!
Lovely green gardens at Wagga Wagga- rest of the country was pretty dry!
Memorial to the soldiers in Wagga
Lovely on hotel at Junee- a really nice town with lovely buildings
Early morning shot of the Catholic Church- another chilly start
Lots of typical Australian country roads
Loved the signs! On our way to Cootamundra- a day of many tail winds!
Had a great time, good country pub food for dinner, something from the local bakery for morning tea! Life was simple, get to your hotel, eat something, shower, wash your clothes for the next day, find a place for dinner, pack up your belongings for the next day! Had a great time- my first touring ride and just loved it.
