Late last year a couple of us rode down the coast to have a beer with a friend who was staying at his holiday van for a week. While the riding in this area is good we took it easy, 10 / 15 km/h over the posted speed limit. Unfortunately two fatals had been reported on the same road over the previous couple of weeks so the boys were out to stomp on speed. While we had a good but uneventful ride, the thing you may find interesting is the wild life at the park site. The Wallabies come and go as they please, they are wild from the bush, but have come to associate people with easy food and we not being much of a gun carrying society don’t shoot them. They mainly stay on the edge of the van park so they can scamper quickly if dogs etc bother them. Bird life is abundant the length of the Australian East Coast, while we were having some lunch a flock of Rainbow Lorikeets came in to demand a meal. They will land on your head and shoulders if you sit or stand still. At about 3.00pm we headed back on the two hour ride home with one beer stop at Berry (another of those pubs all bikers have to stop at for a chat).

This is an old buck, just looking for a handout, or a quick naughty if an obliging female stands still long enough.
