Sydney. Two thirds of Australia’s east coast complete. Final mainland stop Melbourne. About the same as riding from Calais to Istanbul. After all, it’s more than a country. It’s an entire continent.
So far there’s been the wet tropics – heavy, if warm, torrential downpours. Oppressive humidity. But now getting cooler. Low twenties in the day. Much lower at night. Frost. Cold rain. Just ten hours of daylight. Not dissimilar to an English summer… And an Australian winter.
