Winter in oz on zong
Hi,
It's been a while since i posted any pics. This was from yesterdays ride. I wanted to share it with you. The ride was good. A bit cold on top of the mountain. But it didn't rain. Last time it rained when i went there. This is still sea level. Mountains in the distance. There is a bush road that goes through them. Yet to explore. Very tall trees, with bark cement like colour. This road was been closed by council, but somebody removed concrete barries. It wasn't zong. Land slide. It was good that somebody cleared it. Otherwise my exploration would of stoped there. Through the forest there was a clearing and i took this pic of pacific ocean in the distance. Private road to a house. It's perfect spot for holidays. Cows munching grass or what's left of it. I've never been to this spot. It's hard to explain this breathtaking view. This is about 500 plus meters (1 640.feet) above sea level. It was much colder and wind was stronger. More rolling hills, english type countryside Very green grass, it was hurting my eyes how green it was. Probably they used some type of artificial fertilizer. Not sure. Mad max road and tyre. Only missing 800cc. :oops: Blue Mountains in the distance, not the once in catoomba but never the less they are still blue. Amazing colour. Sharing with our little friend sunflower seeds. There is a big forest behind him. Not sure what type of bird it is. Me and Zong like it so much here that we are thinking of coming back to visit our little friend.

That's quite remarkable scenery; thanks for sharing the pics. Was that road really used in Mad Max?
You've coined a new phrase: That's so green, it hurts!
