Sun glorious, sun!

Day 11: Goulburn, NSW

Distance cycled: 67km

We recharged in Moss Vale and were ready to pedal on. It can make so much difference having a refrigerator and a kitchen to cook in, something to look out for in the next campgrounds.

After a wholesome breakfast, we took off at 8:30am. Humidity was very high. “It is just the highlands fog”, a friendly camper suggested as she gave us well wishes. We hoped the ray of sun will break through the mist.

It was a beautiful ride along Tourist Drive 8 passing one farm or ranch after another. Before long, we hit the Hume Highway. It was less stressful riding along the wide shoulder of the highway despite cars and trucks flying past us. Some even honked for support! Unfortunately, we do see a lot of litter and 2 dead turtles along the highways we took. As a gentle reminder: please do not litter… and give those who do an evil stare if not a piece of your mind. ;p

Yes! Sun glorious, sun! We made good progress and decided to stop for lunch at noon. We were dry! It felt good… ahh… the simple things in life. ;=) Despite the looming clouds, the sun was shining and the breeze kept coming. It was very comfortable to ride. The wind picked up and it became a little more challenging, especially with each gradual but seemingly endless climbs.

Before 3pm, we arrived at Goulburn and found one of the nicest campgrounds so far on this trip to stay at. Governor Hill’s Carapark was clean, has a large camp kitchen (that made us felt like home), seating areas and even singing ants! “Have a lovely stay”, said the office attendant. We sure will!
