6 - - Riding the Snowy Mountains from
Sydney to Melbourne
My little rental Dakar
650GS
It doesn't hurt to be
reminded
What lamp? That's my boot
dryer
The first part of my route
through the Snowy Mountains
The town of Jindabyne was
as charming as its name
Never heard of Banjo
Paterson? - - Google him
The sign wasn't kidding
New growth after those
forest fires a few years ago
Heart of the Snowy
Mountains
A mountain hydropower
station
I had rented the movie
before the trip
I always do a late
afternoon profile on the bike
Mt. Beauty - - both the
mountain and the town are aptly named
My room in the hostel in
the woods - - basic and cheap - - my
kind of place
The next morning
On through yet another
park
A quick gas stop
I think they call it
"Bowls"
A wombat - - Australia's
answer to the armadillo
Is the kangaroo their
version of a deer?
Melbourne
Into Melbourne to get lost
for an hour
Dropped off the bike and
went to the train station to ride to the hotel
Love the outfit
and the hair
Dinner with the star party
gang
Off on our morning
excursion
At Swinburne University
Fred viewing the 3-D

Cathy with our taxi driver

Past the ferry we would
return on two days later
