Jindabyne to Cann River Victoria

I enjoyed Staying at Jindabyne Last night however at about 1AM this morning it was absolutely freezing, I had on the following items of clothes on: singlet, tee shirt, thermal top, flannie, and jumper, beanie, undies, thermal pants, jeans, and socks....and it was still cold.

What made it worse there was an heavy frost on everything so when I sat up and hit the roof of my tent freezing cold water dripped on me, I am not sure how much sleep I got last night, my intention was to ride to Bairnsdale however I found myself getting very tired and almost falling asleep, which is not a good thing when you are on a motorbike, so I decided to call it quits for the day when I arrived at Cann River in Victoria.

The road from Jindabyne to Bombala is an excellent bike road, there are stretches of gravel however it is being upgraded to a tar road and when that happens it will be a great bike road and the scenery is fantastic. . When you leave Jindabyne you need to take the Barry way to Dalgety, then take the Snowy river way which eventually takes you to Bombala. From Bombala another great road for bikes and scenery is the Monaro Highway which ends up in Cann River I throughly enjoyed riding on this road and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, while in Cann River do check out the local pub, it's a classic even if it is a little worse for wear

Along the Snowy river way I had a close encounter of the furry kind, as I rounded a sharp bend doing the speed limit of 1ookm a fox darted straight out in front of me, I applied the brakes and slowed down, if the fox had of kept running the same way all would have been good, however the stupid bugger changed direction and ran back in front of my bike, unfortunately for him he went under my left hand wheel at this time I was doing 60km the wheel went up in the air only slightly, probably no worse than hitting a small pot hole, however once again thanks to ABS and the vehicle stability system I am hear to tell the tale, if I had have been on my old bike I would have most certainly lost control and been hurt or worse.

I am staying at the Cann river pub tonight it's very old and run down but the beds are comfortable and the sheets are clean and best of all it's very cheap. I have a big day tomorrow as I will be riding through the Victorian Alps on a road they have christened the Great Alpine Way, I hope to make it to Daylesford. I was just chatting with a fellow motorbike rider and he told me that Daylesford is about 600km from here so I am not so sure that I will make it all the way to Daylesford, I am not going to pre book accomadation for the rest of my trip as it ends up putting pressure on me to be at a certain place at a certain time and that is not what this trip is about. So once I arrive in Tasmania I am going to book each day I think that will be a more enjoyable option.

Oh by the way Ann in answer to your last message, the caves didn't have any glow worms, I am not sure why.
