Bikes only i thought!?

Mt Gambier, built on a ancient volcano (coincidently also called Mt Gambier) and home of The Blue Lake; apparently it’s grey most of the year and then turns to an exquisite blue almost over night.

Perfect for an afternoon stroll you’d think, but no it’s actually perfect for some super fun mountain biking. Again, purpose built mountain bike ONLY trails with the odd log across your path (some people think that’s funny).


Of course, logs are the least of our worries, on our last outing; we twisted and turned through an over cast forest picking up speed and confidence. John thought he could handle anything nature could throw at him.... As he disappeared round a corner, all i heard was a scream and the sound of a bike churning up mud - moments earlier John had run headlong into an Emu!

As we slowly backed away more and more prehistoric heads popped up out of the bush, and stared at the new intruders.
Slowly they grew bored of looking at us and disappeared as silently as they had arrived.
