The mission - so following our cocktail night out we decided to go for a small bike ride (Charlies hangover included). The moonlight track follows a river around the base of Ben Lomand before arriving at Moke Lake and dropping down (via a black run mtb track) to the road back to town.
We set off on the 4km ride from town to the start of the track and quickly realised it was hotter and further than we thought, then a few km into the single track a local lady pointed out that we were following another couple that appeared to be struggling and basically checking if we knew what we were doing!
The scenery was amazing with mountains in every direction you looked, and a few beehives dotted around the 4wd track we followed for the second half of the track. We eventually made it to Moke lake were we stopped for lunch (4pm) and a brief swim before heading down to the road via lake dispute. To add to our water shortage concerns one of the bike derailers had bent and we still had the 15km ride back along the road to town... so we pulled in a favour and called our housemate to meet us at the bottom (with water and a car) and drive us back!
Awesome day, long day!
