Day 17

Waking to another sunny day headed off for Magnetic Hill which was a pleasant 20 minute ride out of town.  We carried out careful scientifically controlled experiments to see if the mysterious powers of Magnetic Hill would have any determinable effects on motorbikes.  Allegedly a vehicle parked in neutral at the bottom of the hill will role back up the hill.  We experimented for about 10 minutes and this is what Amelia had to say about the amazing results.

Next was the ride through to Morgan where we caught the ferry across the Murray.  It was nice to be riding through the big fields of canola and wheat again.  Slowly the crops started changing vineyards and orange groves.  The wild flowers besides the roads were quite brightly coloured.

Shortly after getting off the ferry Amelia and I stopped for a light snack and after consulting the map realised that this may as well be the time to split up.  Her plan was to go on to Mildura to visit a friend, mine was to start heading south to visit the Grampians.  We had a final fuel fill up together and gave each other a hug and said good bye.  Actually we said, "maybe see you at band next Tuesday."

I spent the rest of the day fanging it down to Pinaroo.
