It's been stinking hot here the last few days so had to wait until 5pm when a slight breeze cooled things down a bit. Just wanted to do a short ride on the Salsa to try out some new tyres, but found the front derailleur out of whack -- storage alongside a bunch of other bikes might have caused a knock or something. Anyway, was all kitted up and keen, so came home and swapped over to the Soma and took off again.
Nice ride in the sunshine, but was concerned to find a gate -- no fence -- has been installed across the dirt road leading to the 'badlands' where a few of us ride our MTBs. It was easy to circumvent today, but the intention is clear.
Further down into the bush, I came across something interesting -- an Aboriginal Yarning Circle. The local people, the Yuin, were driven out of the area or died in the 19th Century, so it's intriguing as to what's gone on there.
I can imagine this place being, if not sacred in some way, then a very pleasant location for spending some time with the family -- the little creek is rushy and peaceful, despite the devastation of commercial logging on the higher ground all around. I've seen a platypus here before and today startled a couple of roos enjoying the shade.
Heading back out of the area, I attempted a few jumps on a hummocky downhill and was rewarded with a minor and graceless spill. Don't worry though -- the bike's fine.

) then the 1st thing a landowner needs to do is deny access, or else you might have established a historical right to use the land.
