We decided as this would be one of our biggest days riding and we were leaving from Adelaide and there should be no wild animals to worry about for the first two hours, to leave at 5am. This turned out to be a mistake, not for the animals but for the freezing cold temperatures we would endure north of Adelaide. Anyone who said one, Australia is a hot [more]
