Last evening the possums were out and about. This morning, it was the kangaroos. They hopped through the camping ground in hoards. And then there was the echidna waddling across the road. An animal rich day cycling through the undulating landscape south of Canberra.

The echidna was sweet. It tried to hide from me on the side of the road by scrunching itself into a tight ball. Slowly it got less nervous and started poking around with its snout.

Lake Jindabyne was beautiful in the warm sun, and there were many views of it to be had as the road rose and fell around its edge.

Tomorrow Canberra, and the end of the first (longest) leg of the trip to Sydney.
