The Mawson Trail: Mt Bryan East to Willalo Hall
http://jez-mawson.blogspot.com/2009/03/mt-bryan-east-to-willalo-hall.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Mt Bryan East to Willalo Hall. Continuing north along the trail near Mt Bryan East, we encountered more of that Flinders-esque landscape we had seen last ride. The view from Dares Hill Summit was rewarding, we could see for miles, although I had no real idea of what we were looking at. We left some scrub and re-entered farmland dramatically crossing Goyders Line. Mt Bryan East to Willalo Hall. Had a look-in at the the childhood home of Antartic explorer, Sir Hubert Wilkins.

The Mawson Trail: June 2009
http://jez-mawson.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 1, 2009. A lonely isolated road. A lonely isolated road lead northwards away from the Old Wonoka ruins. Past the long forgotten graves with ornate cast iron fencing and a stone crypt. The road lay beside the former Great Northern Railway, which had once swept out to the north west to reach the plains. However, the road continued into the valley, that was covered in loose, red rocks, almost lunar-like. Melrose to Quorn to Kanyaka to Mt Little Station. Pulling down with it two of the massive g...

The Mawson Trail: March 2009
http://jez-mawson.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. Introducing Wanda, Barbie and Jemima. My naming of my bike trailer, Bob, was ruled null and void by the others. The suggestion of B1, B2 and B3 collapsed with a lack of support. "Wanda," Nick said, as we passed Wanda Street in Spalding. And there it was, so the naming began.

The Heysen Trail: Tapanappa to Balquhidder
http://jez-heysen.blogspot.com/2006/11/tapanappa-to-balquhidder.html
Sunday, November 05, 2006. It just seemed like it would be too hard. I'd done the first couple of hills ok, but could I ride another 15kms of it? And stupid me, I had not got up early enough, it was 10.30am already. So I canned the ride. I was at my determined end point of today's walk, Balquhidder, on Callawonga Road just past the end of Tunk Head Road. I had missed this End to End 3 walk when I was sick (remember the shortest cold ever? So I saved about 1.5kms by driving. I really enjoyed walki...Altho...
