April 8 - to Lennoxhead

Today was the second last day of the tour.  It was just over 100 kilometers with less than 1,000 meters of climbing.   We left camp last out in a small paceline.  We set a pretty fast pace and quickly began passing the other riders.  Several of the riders joined on and we grew the line to eight.  

    A cute sign we came across just out of camp.

We traveled at a brisk pace until we came to a break stop at an aboriginal museum.  We saw these kangaroos just as we exited to road to the museum.

    Kangaroos have become a common sight with almost daily multiple sightings.

We had a great coffee/Coke stop but the aboriginal museum was virtually no more.  It had ironically been supplanted by the Italian heritage museum.  Once again the aborigines have been pushed out by the Western Europeans. 🙁

While we were partaking of Coke/coffee and muffins at a cute little cafe, the skies opened and it began to rain.  We tried to delay our resumption of the ride as long as possible.  But finally headed out into the rain.  It has been really quite nice in that during the trip we have ridden in the rain only a couple of times.  

Further along the ride we came across the worlds largest prawn.  You can certainly see that we are into seafood country now.

We rode and we rode with a crisp pace along beautiful scenery until we came to the town of Lennoxhead.  We were about a couple of kilometers from the camp when we came across a little place that had pizza and beer.  Pizza and beer we said...  What a way to end the day of hard cycling.  So we booked another day by hoisting a couple (maybe more ☺️) pints with a couple of pizzas.

A good day!
