Cootamundra to Gundagai ride : March 22 2025

avatar

A bigger day lining up - only 60 kms but with 3 biggish hills. Was woken by the church bell every hour and the shift workers going to work - 2 am the first went. I was not feeling as crisp as the morning when I got moving - arm and leg warmers needed

A better photo of the old building I saw yesterday - no cars and light behind

Back on the road we came in on yesterday- no turns for a while

Turned onto Mutama Road - view down the valley to the foothills

Rolling hills brown in summer colour

First hill topped - Brawlin Hill - not a fight but a family

Saw a lot of cornflowers - did stop for photo

Reached the Mutama locality

Tiny church

Community hall from 1925

The hills ahead with some fab clouds

Rolling it was - brown it was - skies were a mix - tumbling cloud - high cirrus

Next hill was steeper and did require zigzag action to do the last 100 metres

The view back over Mutama Valley

Stopped near the top of the next hill opposite this grand old homestead - did not look lived in

Old shearer's quarters. Imagine living there in hot summer days. In the foreground is the contraption the butcher used to hang carcasses while he was working

The sheep shed - too low for cattle

Long run downhill into town - last homestead on the way down

Was a tough ride - those hills are not easy - ride route

Showered and then did a tootle around town to capture its story. The big story is the 1852 floods which wiped out the old town - two Aboriginal men saved 69 people in their wooden canoes. Many more died. The locals had told the white man not to build that low down

Circuit took in the old station and the wooden trestle bridges - the longest bridges in Australia built in the late 1800s. More on a Gundagai post on Worldmappin tomorrow

We had dinner in the Family Hotel - lots of families - wine from where we will ride tomorrow.

Short day tomorrow
