Set off today on the road to Cairns, early morning riding was fresh up through Macquarie pass and the Southern Highlands. Some pretty boring Hume Hwy followed until Yass. Followed the Lachlan valley through Boorowa to spend the first night at Cowra. Nice run through the Lachlan and you wouldn’t think there was serious drought just 6 months ago. Staying at the showground with a few other grey nomads. Showground camping is usually good if all you need is a hot shower and toilets. This one has a kitchen as well and is pretty well set up. Probably sub zero temps tonight, so will be sleeping in my riding leathers I reckon🥶🥶

To your east the drought is still quite visible, the Muswellbrook to Tenterfield run is still very dry. Almost everything on the highway from Wallabadah to Guyra is for sale.
Friend of mine crossed through Goondiwindi the other day and said it was a breeze, he had the most recent border pass. Enjoy

Do you need a border pass ? Envious 🤢
We are restricted to a 5 km radius from home.......where I live, half of that is water. 🤔

I've seen river crossings that turned Urals into boats!

Things are changing fast and 14 day hotel quarantines at your expense could well be on the cards if your not careful.
