The next few days: I'll be honest, not much happened

March 31, 2016

It turned out that the evening with Stephen and Jacky really was just exactly what I needed. I felt much better the next few days as I continued south, cycling consistently with very, very little of interest happening. So much so that I'm quite happy to simply post a little photo montage here to describe these days. In the movie that's all they'll be. In fact this whole ride back to Sydney will just be a montage, if it even makes the cut, what with it really only being a prequel to the main event. So, here's some photos. Enjoy:

I saw this bat hanging from an electric pylon in the middle of the day. Incredible!

Waking up in the forest north of Port Macquarie

This guy was cycling with his dog on the back. Brilliant!

I took the ferry to Port Macquarie, which I passed through quickly this time, just enough time to admire this ibis in a tree, and move on

I took a different route south through Diamond Head National Park, which had lovely gravel roads, and two kangaroos, pictured, that didn't mind how close I got...

I went through Taree and Wingham, then took some great quiet roads south that we'd not taken before. Really nice scenery all the way to Maitland. Nothing interesting happened except...

...I caught a leaf! A rare success at one of my favourite games, catch the leaf, this beaut of a leaf floated down right in front of me as I was going down a hill and I reached out and grabbed it. A special moment!
