How often do we crave to ride in far off exotic places and just forget to explore and take in what’s around us … in our backyard.
It hit me a couple of weeks ago after an afternoon’s ride with a friend in the ‘snowies’, Australia’s high country just a couple of hours from home. As we sat on the edge of the road looking out over the landscape … why don’t we do this more often? It’s not even a month from the end of the ski season, snow is still laying around and the place just looks amazing.
Where else have we overlooked and taken for granted.?
And a fine backyard it is! Beautiful scenery and some mighty fine “gnarly” roads.

Indeed it is.
Although your backyard isn’t too shabby either!

Two years ago we drove to Adelaide the long way – down the East Coast past Great Ocean Rd etc. Have you been to SA’s limestone coast? I was blown away by it – I’m guessing you’ve seen it on way to WA. Knowing you, you’ve been everywhere!

I had to look up the Limestone coast, and no I haven’t been there. Thanks for the recommendation, it’s now on the list of places to check out.
