Day 4 - Mt. Clear to Selwyn Snowfields, close call finding a camping spot before freezing

26/4/2016

Wake up after a freezing cold night. Luckily we have enought fuel for a fire to warm some water to make porridge. However the gravel road out of Canberra along Bobeyan road is soul crushing. Our patience is thinning. We're not talking to each other and ready to burst.

​We make it out by 12pm and roll into Adaminaby for lunch. We sit eating in the fallen Autumn leaves planning the next section. We thought we'd be able to make it to O'Hare's rest area, but as the sun went down and still had 30 kms to go we realised there'd be no chance. Plan b get to a warmer flat ground, outta sight camp-able spot before we freeze. Hangry and cold we pass a sign for Selwayn Snowfields and come across a sign with the tent symbol, Three Mile Dam camp grounds. SCORE! We roll in and see several campervans with fires going and we're more at ease. The night gets better as we get invited to share the fire of our neighbouring campers who also have keen cycling children and are keen adventurers. Another close call.


Distance: 74.5 kms
Elevation: 1,478 m
Difficulty: Hard
Road: Gravel 43 kms, on road, beautiful decent into Kiandra goldfields
Strava: link
Start: Mt Clear
End: Three Mile Dam Campground near Selwyn Snowfields
Food: Lunch @ Adaminaby, cafes, bakery, pub, bowling club, general store with camping gear

Highlights:
  • Brayshaw's settler's hut in Shannons flat
  • The big trout at Adaminaby 
  • Finding a gas canister for my stove so we can make coffee​
  • Sharing a campfire with a friendly couple on the campsite
  • Cafe in Adaminaby
