A bigger day lining up - only 60 kms but with 3 biggish hills. Was woken by the church bell every hour and the shift workers going to work - 2 am the first went. I was not feeling as crisp as the morning when I got moving - arm and leg warmers needed
A better photo of the old building I saw yesterday - no cars and light behind
Back on the road we came in on yesterday- no turns for a while
Turned onto Mutama Road - view down the valley to the foothills
Rolling hills brown in summer colour
First hill topped - Brawlin Hill - not a fight but a family
Saw a lot of cornflowers - did stop for photo
Reached the Mutama locality
Tiny church
Community hall from 1925
The hills ahead with some fab clouds
Rolling it was - brown it was - skies were a mix - tumbling cloud - high cirrus
Next hill was steeper and did require zigzag action to do the last 100 metres
The view back over Mutama Valley
Stopped near the top of the next hill opposite this grand old homestead - did not look lived in
Old shearer's quarters. Imagine living there in hot summer days. In the foreground is the contraption the butcher used to hang carcasses while he was working
The sheep shed - too low for cattle
Long run downhill into town - last homestead on the way down
Was a tough ride - those hills are not easy - ride route
Showered and then did a tootle around town to capture its story. The big story is the 1852 floods which wiped out the old town - two Aboriginal men saved 69 people in their wooden canoes. Many more died. The locals had told the white man not to build that low down
Circuit took in the old station and the wooden trestle bridges - the longest bridges in Australia built in the late 1800s. More on a Gundagai post on Worldmappin tomorrow
We had dinner in the Family Hotel - lots of families - wine from where we will ride tomorrow.
Short day tomorrow
