Beautiful spot panniers need to be empty for a stop at the liqueur shop in tambourine.


My panniers are almost always full.  Emergency gear in the right and wet weather gear in the left.  Unfortunately I had to open the right one twice on that trip.

Correct!

And I had some cryptic clues up my sleeve.

Edwin Street Park



Clues, like home to the most famous street in Australia, but I suppose you have already worked that out.

I know there's a Williamson Drive on the other side of the river.

I'll throw it over to whoever's in first.

He! He! He!

1700 Melbourne time is 30 minutes ahead of Adelaide time, ie. I'll beat you to it.  Probably shouldn't matter too much, as you'll have it solved in 30 minutes.

I guess it might be time for a clue.  Hertzberg Larsen, a Norwegian-born miner from Tromøya had a son who was hypnotised by this town.

Hmmmm...   That would be Henry Lawson, but the location eludes me.  Gulgong NSW is my best guess, but I can't nail the specific location

I'll let it stew for a bit.  Someone else may be able to decipher that.

Is stew another cryptic?

Lawson did write "The "Hypnotized Township"

Could it be Cunnamulla?

Well done Shillas, you beat me by seconds - I hadn't logged in (assuming it is Cunnamulla)

Friendship that can laugh at fortune, friendship that can conquer pride!
Offer this as to an equal -- let me see that you are true,
And my wall of pride is shattered: I am not so proud as you!

Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.

And that's enough poetry for one night!

Cunnamulla, Queensland is correct.  It was the setting for Henry Lawson's The Hypnotised Town.

Over to you.

Such erudition!  Who knew!?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
