Tidbinbilla

The ride to Tidbinbilla was fast and furious.

"He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciuzko's side,
Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough,
Where a bike’s tyres strike firelight from the flint stones every mile,
The man that holds his own is good enough.
And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home,
Where the river runs those giant hills between;
I have seen full many bikers since I first commenced to roam,
But nowhere yet such bikers have I seen?"

Wow, they must have foxtel...

Tidbinbilla Tracking Station

Great tour by an incredibly knowledgeable host. In one hour he took us to Mars to travel overland on a rover; to the outermost limits of space and to the planets in between.
