From Murray Bridge along the coast south towards Kingston S.E. is a region called the Coorong. It’s a very important wetland for lots of varieties of birds and has the worlds largest breeding colony of Pelicans. It’s basically a series of lakes formed by a sandbar a few hundred kms long. I stuck to the highway rather than follow the track that runs right down by the lakes. Too sandy.

As it is a flat coastal sandy region it was lacking in trees and the headwind was pretty strong. After a week without any real riding, I think I may have overcooked it yesterday chasing that guy up Mt. Lofty. I felt good but today my leg was sore, same problem as I had back in Noosa. Not bad by any means but I did not want to aggrivate things so I had a very soft few days in the saddle through this area. Riding into the wind there is no chance to ease up, as soon as you stop pedalling you pretty much come to a halt. So I was going slow and resting often.
