What kind of test was this? We all survived the Outback, the warm coke and beer, the dangerous bugs and critters, the road trains, the brutal heat and gusty head winds, hangouts in roadhouses, cold and hot pools, … Why are we being sent over this pass, instead of riding the much shorter and flat road into town? Are we cycling zombies or still considered to be alive?

If the Indonesian road builders had been trained by Australians, the whole country would be plastered with these ‘walk your bike’ signs.

No way I push my bike, unless it is to cross a river or alike.
