Day 2 04.08.2018 Rail trail

Today we rode from Goomeri to Kilkivan and back again. A grueling 59.4kms. I am exhausted and don't know how i even finished the ride! Early night for us. Will put photos up tomorrow.

5+ hours of riding /walking. Av speed 11.7km/hr.
Map of one way as phone went flat. Not getting great reception.
Goomeri train station 

The first of many gates.


Another of the gates, this one led to an old bridge 
First time I've seen deer in the wild.
The trail is sign posted every km, starting in Kilkivan. 
A very deep water crossing that we chose not to cross 
Climbed over the farmers fence to cross in the shallows. Mark rode. I chose to walk barefoot & got a foot full of prickles on the return crossing 😡

The old bridge is no longer in use. This made fo a challenging crossing going down at a great rate and climbing back up, not always successfully on my part  😔
