Got my bike back from the shop Saturday morning and peeled off a hundred km or so just to get reacquainted.
Was riding across North Mackay near the river when I noticed that the cars coming towards me were slowing and stopping. I eased off, then noticed the hazard and stopped.
Two ducks with half a dozen very tiny ducklings were waddling across the road. They just don't have any road sense at all!
We were only held up for 30 seconds or so, but I noticed that when the cars started up from the other direction all the drivers were grinning and all of them waved to me. And despite them being on four wheels, I must admit I waved back.
Just be prepared for the wildlife out there.
