A few more days will wind up 5 months of touring Australia over 2 visits.

We've ridden many of our K's (6,300 for myself and 2,600 for Shirley on this visit) along incredible bike paths.

Finally I photographed more black cockatoos than I could count. 

They are about 200 mm fromm head to tail,

They call out "Aweeyah", very different from other parrots or white cockatoos.

The commuter trains were excellent for getting to different riding locals.

We foun hat salt water didn't do much for removing the sweat from riding.

Shirley takes a dip in the ocean more often than I. 

We are not looking forward to facing the snow at home.

!Get rid of the stuff will you! We leave paradise in only 3 days.
