Thanks so much for the feedback. Yes please add comments with information that helps others. Really appreciate you watching, some of those episodes took up quite a lot of time including riding most sections twice plus all the editing etc. Peter

Thanks Adrian you too. Peter

Thanks for watching. It's short but was a nice ride.

@@ablebanner3222 Thank you.

Thanks for adding this comment. It really helps others looking here with making an educated decision. I have found the bike very handy and although I'm mostly riding my Dyson now another member of the Burra Crew is about to start riding using the Leitner. Very handy and folds up to a convenient size. Thanks for watching, always appreciated. Regards Peter.

What brand and size panniers do you have on the Leitner Super T? I have a pair but, on a 26" wheel bike, they might be too large to fit a Super T.

Hi I bought them on eBay they are probably a bit large but I made them work. Roswheel 3 in 1 Multifunction Road MTB Mountain Bike Bag Pannier Rear. they are about $70.00 for the set. I have a set of rock Bros on my Dyson which are clip on (better) but I think they would be too long on the Leitner.

Hi Mike, you mentioned that you have fitted an extended seat post to your Leitner Super T. What height are you? Was the extended seat post readily available? Was it the correct diameter, or was it necessary to use shims to fit the seat tube?

Hi, I just hadn't got back there yet. Will be doing the Alberton to Port Albert Section hopefully next weekend. Thanks for watching.

Thank You. I will be bringing out some more short videos each week on where I'm up to with the rucking.

Hi, Im about 176cm. I found the bike quite rideable but having moved to a much taller bike I now feel it was too short for me, certainly over long distances. However, I'm going to get a longer seat post for it because as a fold up bike really like it. Sitting higher will make it better for me.

@@BurraCountry Thanks Peter. Have you done the 100 km review mentioned in this video?

Hi, sorry for the slow response I missed your message. I haven't yet and I need to. But I did over 200km in a pretty short time frame and with a couple of 40km rides. I really enjoyed those rides, I guess the first thing I noticed when I got on my full size Dyson was that I felt like I was really able to apply more of my energy through the pedals and the ride was a bit smoother. Plus I had the Dyson professionally set up for me. But the Leitner I would still be just as positive in the sense of practicality with the fold up, it was an easy ride and the battery range is pretty good (I did get the larger battery). Hope this helps.

I also bought an extended seat post so I could do a full stretch on the down stroke when pedalling.

@@Geoff-m7j There is not always really clear information readily available on the history of all these lines and areas. I like to acknowledge the work that went on before and yes some really amazing efforts considering terrain and distances covered by railways. My main criteria though is to highlight that these towns still exist and are still connected either by road or trail and very much still worth visiting. Really appreciate you watching.

hi sorry for the delay in replying. I'm out of time sync at the moment as I am in the USA. yep birds are amazing creatures.

@@BurraCountry no worries😄

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi, I've been practicing with the drone a lot. Still learning! Hoping to just get better as we do more and more trails. Currently walking some urban trails in Boston Ma USA. Would really have loved to have been able to bring the drone along, it was just going to be to much hassle to do it legally, which is important. Really appreciate you watching. More to come. Peter

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, always appreciated. I'm impressed just how far a Magpie will go to defend a nest. I have taken video from a drone of a Magpie leaving a tree about 500m away and 120m (400f) below, it flew all the way up to chase off the drone. The avoidance system in the drone kept moving it away whenever the bird came close while I brought it back down to land. I also have reflective stickers on the drone which birds are extra wary of, so it never actually impacted the drone. Just have to respect the bird's commitment... Peter

Hi Geoff, I guess all the rail trails have the sentimental component about them. Doing research about the towns along rail trails has really reminded me of the importance trains played in maintaining and creating so many rural towns. Nothing made that clearer to me than Toora. The reason I have focused the videos on the towns and the trails is to remind people these towns are still here and not just worth visiting but need it. Really appreciate you watching. Thanks Peter

Yes caught the action really well, didn't feel to great though. The joys of spring!

@@BurraCountry I wonder if the maggi / maggy was attacking the lens of the camera - I have a pair of mudlarks [Magpie Lark] that keep challenging the reflection in a house window - again at mating season. [ I saw one in a metropolitan railway car park - hitting a reflective car window [ only one car and left a poo each time !!!!

Hi, Yes it's a great achievement. The connection to Yarram is open it is episode 10 in my Great Southern Rail Trail Series. Thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciated. Peter

It's a great place for a ride

Glad you enjoyed

I did over 250km on rail trails on the Leitner fold up pick. It was a bit small for me but did a great job and folds up small enough to put in the back of the car. It was quite fun to ride too!

Thanks for watching

Thank you too!

Hi and a big thank you. The original aim was always to point out that all these towns still exist, and they are worth visiting. The fact that they remain linked not just by region but also by the trails following the former train line is a bonus, and still a way to travel to these towns. We will be commencing on other trails now and will continue to have a focus on the towns along the way. Peter.

Hi, I don't really go off road in the rough stuff. But I have left the fridge in for weeks at a time and there's never been on issue with it. I guess too that with the roller shutter closed theres really not a lot of room for it to move. But honestly I can't say what would happen on the real rough stuff. It's in pretty solid it still has the weight of the timber floor keeping it down. - Peter

Hi the instructions for Leitner Bikes are available on their website to download. You have to put the mudguard on in the right order with the headlight I think.

Thanks Greg, It's been a big improvement on longer rides. Easy to ride and handles the trail a lot smoother than the folding leitner. the leitner is good bike but it was never designed for long trail rides. Very happy with the Dyson so far.

Sorry, it is one of those things that freaks people out! It's just what Magpies do in spring... But wow it hit me about 5 times.

@@BurraCountry, as an Australian, I felt this video

@@BurraCountry WOW

Hi, thanks for viewing.

enjoy 🤩

Hi I agree, there is such a nice park there. It would be such a great extension of the park area. There is a lot of potential.

Hi, I agree. It's sad that there are no more trains but it's been a really long time and this is great use of the land. It preserves a thoroughfare for everyone and brings business and tourism to all the towns that used to be connected by trains.

@@BurraCountry absolutely, very disappointing that the trains don’t run along South Gippsland. I don’t know if you are aware that there are plans to extend the Cranbourne line to Clyde, and potentially Koo Wee Rup. However, I believe the line should be extended to Lang Lang, cause that is the only second of the SGR where the tracks still exist. Hopefully that happens, I don’t want the trail to be extended any longer!

Thank You

Thank You

Me too -This section has tiny flowers on many of the wetland plants , absolutely beautiful smells 😇

Thank You. Trying to do better with each segment. Yes we now have an extra 22km all linked together. So will be doing right through to Yarram then moving on to the Bass Coast trail.

@@BurraCountry well done

I made up a simple aluminium box and tek screwed it to the floor

Hey mate, how did you attach your control box to the side wall? Needing to do that but don’t want to have to try and attach ply first.

Hi, I actually just tek screwed it to the wall. But I just installed an inverter and used rivnuts to install a plywood panel which created a much more stable backing. Im going to do the same for the control box so it's a more solid fit. About to put up a video I did for that install.

Thanks for the feedback, I really like the the removable slide. It's worked so well. Yes I have a kings accessory box and a battery in the back. Yeah I should do some more videos on the Canon X. I really like it.Had now for 2 years. Oh yeah and my daughter had it for her wedding car! Peter

The rear Ladder Rack I purchased from Bosco, fit straight onto the Roller shutter (Savage Tech)

Thanks 👍

Thanks for this. I realised after filming that it was about the same time as Lenny's adventure that my father moved into the Korumburra area. He would have been about 5 years old at the time. So Im sure he would have heard all about it. Thanks for adding the link for everyone to find out more. Really great. Peter

👍🙂

Awesome! Thank you!

She is getting there. Will do a review on the trike soon Thanks for watching

Hi yes, we are aware of this now and have resolved with later videos. But really appreciate the feedback otherwise we wouldn't have known. Been playing with different audio and mikes. Now have the app to convert single channel into two. Thanks for watching.

Hi, Im working on that. Ive got some new mics and still trying to work things out. But always appreciate the feedback I'll look at why that's not occurring. Peter

@@BurraCountry if you use Audacity to edit your sound you can copy your mono recording and put it on both left and right channels.

thank you,

It is magnificent countryside. The views in Gippsland are amazing. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. We have big plans to continue doing these so stay tuned. Peter

Hi, Yes there is parking at the end of the Park Area and the street running through the town. I dont think you would have any trouble parking a car near the trail in Nyora.

Hi. we added the connection from Yarram to Welshpool in our map for the Loch episode. I haven't been all the way down there as yet, but that is the plan. Thanks for the information and feedback, really appreciate it.

I was wondering about that when I was walking around there, but wasn't sure if the underpass had been built originally to provide easier access to the Train Station. Glad someone thought to put the underpass in when the highway was built. It makes for really great access. It's a great village to walk around. Thanks for the information, always appreciated.

Hi, yes, we realised after the upload Id left probably the most obvious part out. It's about 6km. I will be adding this to episode 2 which will be out this coming weekend. Really appreciate the feedback, and thanks for watching.

Yeah there are some great areas. We will be highlighting many as we progress through the towns and all the areas in between.

indeed!

Thank You

They are, can't wait for the chance to go back and do second breakfast!
