And day seven of the #SydtoMelTrip would have been the most uneventful, save for two things. We left Shepparton, VIC and crossed the state border in Cobram. Bye #Victoria, it was so good to ride through you!
The first thing worth mentioning: turns out #NSW can properly greet the visitors! So it seems it's only the A1 border which is unfriendly.
The second thing is another weather achievement. We survived that massive storm when leaving #Sydney a week ago, now we survived its opposite: riding in scorching 38 degrees Celsius.
This time we were prepared though. A lot of water was poured onto different parts of our gear (especially neck tubes, gloves and inside of helmets), which then turned cold after hitting 100km/h. A treatment like that lasted for about 30 minutes.
We avoided highways (with A39 being the most obvious choice) and focused on less used roads between smaller towns. From Cobram we travelled to Berrigan, then to Urana, then to Lockhart before returning on a highway. Can highly recommend these specific roads, or taking more local roads in general. As long as you remember that the road surface may not be ideal, they should be quite fun.
And here's a photo of a local tourist attraction in Urana #NSW.
