I am enjoying your videos. I’m working on a Coolangatta to Cairns cycling project. I don’t have the luxury of time to do it all at once so am doing sections.
I must admit, i am a bit put off by the mining downs and the traffic they create. Did you enjoy that part or was south of there a bit better? I do love the scenery more in QLD than lower NSW minus the mines obviously
Most of the flat top "hills" is "overburden" - the dirt removed to get the coal beneath. It'll get put back once the coal is out. Assuming the mining company doesn't go broke and remediates the site when they're finished...
I love this episode

Great episode & photo :). I don't think I have the courage to cycle on some of those roads in this Ep.
Fine achievement, Ted. Now it’s downhill all the way home.
