… we packed ourselves up, our bikes again looking like pack mules from Nepal, and headed out of Melbourne to the Dandenong ranges. Countryside here was very lush and green and we had a lovely windy ride up the lookout at Mt Dandenong where there were awesome views back toward Melbourne. Now came the fun part looking for a camping ground close by…

..We met Megan in Prahran for coffee and chat Saturday morn and then headed of for a random ride round Melbourne on Bevins bike, through St Kilda along the waterfront to where the ferry – Spirit of Tasmania – leaves from, through Beacon Cove to Port back through the city and jumped off bike for a walk through Federation Square, visited an exhibition on the history of film and animation.

Time came for our intrepid Kiwi Bikers to leave the Safe House , we had a cool time at Alex and Bex’s getting our bike and getting them sorted, like lowering mine approx 40m..all counts when you need to get your feet grounded when keeping what seems to me a reasonable sized touring bike , upright with all the luggage. Looked quite daunting as we packed up for the long journey to our next destination..hmm ok bit far fetched as had only to ride 1.6k’s round the corner to Back of Chapel backpackers right in the heart of all the bars in Prahran. Had 2 nights there.
