A few months have passed since I rolled into the driveway at my place, completing the longest held ambition I had. One's attentions of course return to the day to day mundaneties of life at the close of such a journey. But with time, my reflections upon what was achieved and the manner in which it was, have fully sunk in. I do feel quite proud of myself, an article in Australian Geographic suggests that an average of 25 people a year complete the track Still, i...

Well...what can be said? A hugely emotional day as I rolled on down the hill from the Marysville turnoff at Cumberland Junction. A day that would hold a relatively easy 60km or so ride down into Warburton and then on to home!! I had plenty of time as I rode to contemplate the trip. I've said it before this point but will again: the support of Sal, Sime, Mum, The Aherns, Brian, Grandma and Grandpa, all of you that have read and supported me on this blog has bee...

Penultimate day has arrived! It began with a trip to the expansive and well stocked General Store.

The road contrary to the map was not sealed for more than about 10kms and was of a similar ilk to yesterday; long, gravel, windy and mostly uphill. I was disappointed not to be on the roadbike more. When I d...

Today was certainly a particularly joyous rendezvous as I was looking forward to many things: my wife, mum, bike, potential proceeds of a drive through Jamieson (they have a micro-brewery), as well as some fresh meat and vegies, you sure miss them! All of which came to fruition as well as a slightly exposed, but very beautiful campsite near the summit of Mt Skene. Despite finally getting a fire going with very wet wood and an icy wind, the campfire cooked fare ha...

The final walking day had arrived and not a moment too early if you saw my feet! This day would end on Jamieson-Licola Rd with a welcome sight of my car with my MTB on the roof. If that doesn't spur you on- nothing will. The several hard days that led to this had left me with a mere 14kms to complete, all of which was to be on 4x4 track with only two (labelled) steep sections, both up! walking in this direction. An amusing session of attempting to dry all my clot...
