I was born and bred in Sydney. And all my life I have been proud of that fact. But recently, I have been noticing a pattern. I don't know where it is coming from, but maybe its been 10 years of Sydney arrogance, and thinking we are a great city to live in. Traffic has become horrendous, and the roads are degrading.

A few months back, I travelled to Thailand for business. And I think like most people, I normally don't pay too much attention to the conversion rates when exchanging money, other than it feels like I am being taken to the cleaners.

Today I read about my fellow riders getting back to Sydney. The 2,200kms seem insignificant to the over 6,500kms that they covered on their ride!

Gorgeous vineyard country, and it is amazing how fertile the lands become as you head into the Murray River! Finally we headed into Renmark, our stop for the night. Stunning country along the Murray River, and I hope to come back here one day and spend some real time...
