Mt Carbine to Lakeland

I am now reporting Tom's progress remotely, sitting at our daughter's table in Sydney. So here goes:

Tom rode 116k's today leaving from Mt Carbine, and arriving at Lakeland in the afternoon, accompanied by sister Barb and Liz.  He reported:

"Tough day with a couple of major climbs and lots of ups and downs and a strong cross wind."

Update:  Terry reports " A big ride today, with Tom leading out from Lakeland.  There is a long
160m climb once more over the Great Divide to Bob's Lookout, then a lot of little ups and downs.  Then a big drop off the northern side of James Earls Lookout into Lakeland, passing a huge solar array covering perhaps 1 1/2 ha. 80+ strings of double panels, 100m long with a big substation right alongside. We eventually find the caravan park, two blocks off the road, small and quite green grass that we shared with the wallabies and cane toads, a large number of toads."
