Location

Inside the reserve of the Princess Freeway near Werribee, south west of Melbourne.

Participants

Felix Dance

Expedition

Saw this location in the morning and determined to do it. Went to a movie with mate Tom ('Sherpa'), then rode out along the Federation Trail in the afternoon to reach the point.

Found the spot, right inside the base of a big old tree it seemed, then turned around and rode back home in the dusk. Spent the ride in thinking about laser-propelled starships.

Here is the route I took.
