too true, platypus... good name you've go there too, ever seen one?? most unusual creature!!
This place is great for riding, I did the last 600km on the main highway, reminded me why I don't use it... virtually 500km of roadworks, slow, cop-infested, speed limited, single carriageways covered with caravans, trucks... so glad it wasn't real busy on that route... The option I normally take is about 150km longer through the most beautiful countryside, full of bendy sections, empty long straights, lucky to see another car for periods of 100km or more, never see a cop... throttle settings are whatever you're mood sets... aaah... sure is the
lucky country....
here's a lazy shot of my view up through the trees...

I did another 250kms this morning test-riding my exhaust-leak fix, couldn't stop... similar weather... clear blue skies and country roads... brilliant fun!!
