Was low on charge and network while over there, here are some more pics

The partly rusted out sign at the French Island General Store, viewed from behind so that it's backwards. You can see a dusty track in front, and a eucalypt-bordered field beyond that. Above, clear blue skies and the merciless sun. A view of the ocean in the morning. There's very little wind and the water is calm. In front is a line of ten old jetty posts, and on top of each of them is a cormorant-type bird, resting and looking for fish. Sitting on the beach after a long ride to the campsite: 40ish km to get from Frankston, then another 5 or so to get to camp from the jetty). My legs are stretched out in front of me, and in between them is a well earned can of beer. The sun is kind of beginning to set, although still quite merciless, and it's reflecting in the water and on the sand. My camp for two days: a tarp stretched between two hiking poles, and an inflatable mattress and sleeping bag underneath. In the background is my ebike, still to have its cooking gear unpacked, and a whole load of bracken and tea tree.

Aha, switching Mastodon off and back on again fixed it. It sucks here, don't come, etc etc

A shot of the (French island) beach at sunset. Clear blue sky, setting sun reflected in the water, golden sands stretching into the distance marked only by my footprints.

Mastodon is shitting the bed due to low bandwidth here, but camping is fucking awesome, just in case you didn't know

Bike!

My ebike parked in the driveway, packed to the gills with camping gear, food and clothes. My ebike parked at Stony Point, with clear blue skies and the sea in the background. My bike speedometer: Home to Stony Point was 37.4km and took 2 hours 2 minutes (there was a headwind, ok?)

A picture of a bog, with shallow water and plants in the foreground, rising to mountains in the distance. At the top is written "This is the ideal bog", and at the bottom is "You may not like it, but this is what peat performance looks like."
