Now, this is a turnaround. Kangaroos watching a cyclist pass them by. I thought it quite funny as I looked down on them from the top of the dam wall at Lysterfield Lake Park. The kangaroos are Eastern Greys and there are many at the park. Best time to see them out in the open is early morning or towards sunset.

In the winter it’s a ski resort, but in the summer Whistler is a MTB destination and they have lots of bikes for rent!

Seen at Lysterfield Park

I took a walk along Mahogany Track to see if I could see any different birdlife. But I was soon interrupted by this team of MTB riders. My husband is the second from the front and thought I should have taken a photo of them as they were coming towards me. So I thought I’d take one as they were leaving me.

3 riders on one of the many tracks at Lysterfield Lake Park. Some tracks are single tracks and some are much wider like this one which is actually more a road in the park.

Out on the track. I moved around to get different shots and angles of the riders as they rode past.

Bendigo MTB Endurance Race

On the weekend we stayed in Bendigo, travelling up on Saturday and staying overnight in a small cottage and then leaving early the following morning for the race just out of town. There were a few hundred people there and it didn’t take long for the tent city to grow and take shape.

Below: My husband Graham leading this small group. The laps were approx 9.5km in length and the race was for 6 hours. His team, Team Sally, did 10 laps in total.
