With a day to kill until our ride starts we headed off to Metung by road, stopping in all the little coves along the way. As we drove up endless steep gravel roads we were very glad that we had opted for the car instead of the bike.

First small stop was in Nungurner – quiet and picturesque but very isolated.

Slowly made our way round to Metung – much more developed but nonetheless still quite beautiful. Definitely had boat envy…

From Metung we headed north through Swan Reach following the Tambo Rover to Tambo Upper. Fabulous red cliffs reminiscent of the SA Murray
