Post by: Danneaux on December 20, 2012, 06:52:41 PM
Hi All!

No doubt our Australian members already know of this, but a new portal/online magazine is available for all things related to Australian cycle-touring.

Called CycleTraveller, its root page is here: http://cycletraveller.com.au/australia/

Edited by Alia Parker, the he site description reads...

Oh, yes, Ian...I recall you mentioning this before, and with good reason! I take particular note of such places and write them in my "Someday" list to visit. Even if I can't see all the places, just knowing such exist is a real "plus". I've poured over the photos and -- yep! -- time to bump it up a few notches on the list. I'd surely love to tour Down Under someday myself.

Thanks for the reminder of Magical places, Ian; fantastic!

All the best,

Dan.

Not me and interestingly no mention of it that I am aware of the Australian Cycling Forums.  Personally I much prefer the work of GJ Coop who is out there doing some pretty amazing touring.  His website can be found at http://www.cycletrailsaustralia.com/

For those interested you can also follow him on his current wander around Australia at CGOAB (http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/zzOz).
