Eden motorcycle adventure

On the weekend just passed, Jenny joined me on a motorcycle trip to the Sapphire Coast.

From Jen rides
We camped on Friday evening at a little site on Packers Swamp Road and close to Brown Mountain. Jen poses here with our little fire and in front of her tried-and-tested ZZR250. It was certainly much cooler in the mountains but we were comfortable over night in down bags.

I prepared sausages on a small fire that was kindled from a little bark from the dry side of a tree, and refreshed myself with some lager th at I brewed at the start of spring. There are many features of camping in a state forest. Although there are no facilities, there is also no fee; and there are often very few nearby campers.

The "Killers of Eden" were a pod of killer whales that are said to have aided whaling-parties that operated from the town many decades ago. The skeleton of the killer whale, Old Tom is on display behind Hodgo.

The weather is starting to cool but the water is pleasant. Jenny and I took a dip at Eden before riding later to Tathra, our venue for Saturday evening.

On Sunday, we were treated to lush scenery as we motored through the Bega valley on our return to the ACT. You could almost see smiles on the cows for this part of the country has had a fairly wet start to the year.
