Col & Peta

After saying goodbye to Col and Peta, I hit the road towards Singleton in the Hunter Valley – Australias famous wine producing region. A quick pitstop at the only bike store in town yielded a super heavy duty innertube to try to prevent further punctures. The thing weighs more than the tyre it fits inside.

Freshly fuelled and confident I won’t be getting more rear flats at least I continued on down the road to Muswellbrook. Spying the Golden Arches and deciding I deserved a milkshake I went in to be greeted by a really sweet girl who gave me a meal and a few bottles of water on the house. Maybe there is something to the Irish accent abroad after all? The ride was pretty uneventful, nice roads and weather apart from a headwind. Made camp for the night in Scone – the horse capital of Australia, if thats something worth boasting about?
