Day 8 Yirrangobilly

​Today we woke up after a big 10 hour sleep in tom groggin camp, well i did anyway, rob got at least 8 he says.

We had rice paper wraps again with egg avo and tomato for breaky with peri peri salt.
Packed up in record time. Still pretty slow for rob. He thinks i work at a snails pace. Im just awesomly cool calm and collected all the time and he is like the road runner non stop. Perfect match 🙂

From there we went on some pretty windy roads beautiful huge trees with the sun peering through and the magnificent smell of the bush. We saw one of the hydro power stations, amazing how they have set it up.  I can’t believe they have built most of these so many years ago but so much of Australia is still running off coal power stations it seems pretty crazy and unnecessary that we haven’t advanced past coal .
Any ways next stop was khonkoban. Unusual little town. Houses seem very close together with little to no fences. We had a delicious lunch at Shanos cafe and then stocked up with what ever they had as an option for breaky and dinner.  2min noodles and salmon for dinner and the same for breaky as yest tom. We stopped at a dam on the way to our current location. Huge, amazing how they can build such large dam walls.
 
We then went through a huge amount of desalated landscape. There must have been a big fire before the winter and the bush hasn’t been able to recover yet.
Strange. Eery.  Cold. The trees are half black and grey, green on the ground but no leaves on any trees. Strangest landscape I’ve seen for a long time.

Not long after we came out of that area we spotted another few wild brumby. Such beautiful creatures.
We made it here after about 4 hours of riding to the village consisting of 1 building. Cute.
Hot Springs tomorrow. Yay
