FLASHBACK: SA into Victoria and back to NSW

Cam and I went from Burra, South Australia into Adelaide and then headed toward Victoria and back to New South Wales & Sydney. I'll cover all those miles in this post. Its a lot of mining, so hold on to your hats.

The first stop was Bremer Mine, a copper mine that operated between 1850-1875. Not much was left, except a stack and a powder house.


We stopped at a museum about the Chinese immigrants who primarily came to Victoria to mine gold in the 1800s. Much of their history has been erased from memory. Placards state how Europeans were the first discoverers of gold, when other more inclusive histories credit that task to the Chinese.


The museum & its contents were informative, and the architecture was monumental.


Back on the road, C & I stopped for a picnic & walk alongside this small creek. Undoubtedly, this small trickle may very well be completely bursting given the recent weather. Floods are spanning the entire eastern coast of Australia causing mind-boggling amounts of destruction.


We also stopped in Clune, Victoria where a huge book sale was underway. The town was very historic, although the width of main street pretty inconceivable.


One of the best parts of our ride was this strawberry & cream cow next to an information center. MMM, strawberries & cream.
