So, the biking's been alright. Biked 113 km one day! Usually it's around 60 km though, which means it'll take me forever to get to Melbourne at this rate.. :P
Last two days have been really hot. Combined with the hills, I've been travelling reeeeeeally slowly. It isn't that fun, and you go through a crazy amount of water. Cities are about a good 10 to 30 km apart, with nothing in between, you have to make sure to bring enough supplies to last between! But, it's supposed to get cooler tomorrow, so that should be good. All of the heat, combined with worries about my ankle have made me definitely entertain a second thought or two.
In Batemans Bay right now, travelling along the princess highway. Hope to get to a good spot to swim and camp for the night. I saw possums last night! At first I was pretty annoyed as they were in the middle of where I wanted to camp, as I hear they can be a big nuisance. But then I saw one with a baby on it's back, and it was too cute for me to remain upset. (And the park officials said you didn't have to worry as long as you kept your food in your tent. That's so different from camping in Canada!)
