Day 94 - Canberra to Tallaganda state forest - 70km
Ned Kelly, i’ve seen him in every state i’ve been through I feel.
It was time to go into the bush again and get away from the big smoke. I had a route from one of the housemates boyfriend (thanks Johny).
Making my way past parliament house I was hoping I might see a politician or someone I knew from TV and I did, I saw ABC journalist, David Spears, crossing the road, it was strange as he was checking me out on my bike as I was looking at him.
Through Queanbeyan and up the big hill on the otherside, I turned off onto Captains Flat road and then again onto a dirt road, I had slowly progressed from the big smoke to dirt roads cutting through state forests, seeing kangaroos, an echidna and parrots.
Stopped for my first flat of the trip, my tyres were getting pretty worn down and may need to get a new set, i’ll see how I go.
The roads were rough cut up by logging trucks and I continued on into farm land, going through farmers gates and past fields filled with cattle and sheep.
I set up camp under a huge tree, cooked my dinner, is was good to be back in the middle of nowhere.
