One of the simple pleasures of bicycle travelling in Australia is availing ourselves of the plethora of wild camping opportunities. About an hour before sunset we just locate a spot in the bush, about 20 to 50 metres off the track, pitch the tent, cook dinner on the Trangia, maybe check out the stars for a while if the mozzies aren't particularly voracious, spotlight for crocs if there is a watersource nearby, hop into bed usually before 8pm, sleep deeply for 8 hours thanks to the relaxing fatigue that all-day cycling promotes, then wake up and pack up the next morning before the birds and sun have arisen, and cycle off with the first rays of light.
