Murray River to Mountains Day 4 – Beechworth to Myrtlewood

Highlight of the day was spotting this koala bear in a tree just next to the cycle trail. I don’t think I’ve seen a koala in the wold before – has always been in zoos or reserves.

A collection of galahs and little corellas, both types of cockatoos. They were mainly flying overhead and hard to take a photo of, but then we saw this lot in a paddock.

So far this was my favourite day. Lots of variety on the trail. A long down hill at the beginning, and then many kms across the country.

Overtook these cyclists.

A cool bus shelter at Everton, a very small settlement that consists of a store and a bus shelter!

Very peaceful cycling away from traffic, and even other cyclists. Very few people around during the week.

The Phoenix Tree greets you as you enter Myrtleford.

An outdoor snakes and ladders board.

Bird mosaics down by the river.

Almost at the motel.

My mobile office in the afternoon.

Around 50 kms today. A bit of rain again in the morning but sunny by mid afternoon.
