Background – this family holiday is not a cycling holiday, but we do have the bikes with us, also, I’m 1500+ days into riding every day, so there’s a certain incentive to keep on going
A full morning and early afternoon doing tourist things on foot and we grabbed the bikes for an afternoon ride out westish to Lake McIntyre to a rehabilitated ex-quarry now wetlands for some bird watching. Rolled slowly around the lakeside path and amazingly, spotted a Latham’s Snipe from one of the bird hides – tiny little thing well disguised against the brown mud and reeds. A few other waterbirds, then out of the wetlands and around the biggish block back home … via the cattle saleyards. A huge place, built to the scale of B-double semi-trailers and a vast expanse of empty tarmac on bicycles, but fun to spin around in, then other streets back to the accommodation in the pub – with a brief stop to thrown paddy melons around, since two of the three members of this family had not previously had that entertainment in their lives
