We decided we'd try a shortcut to get back from the markets - I'd been studying google maps and it looked like there was a path that ran through a park and then through bushland under the powerlines. We started off in the local skatepark, much to the bemusement of the local kids
After we picked up the powerlines it looked like plain sailing along a dirt track as bellbirds sang in the bushes
Until we hit a boggy cow paddock scattered with creeks, barbed wire & electric fences. No photos as standing still meant that you sank into the mud, but after zig-zagging around trying to find a dry route we struggled to high ground (up a slope that was somehow as wet at the top as it was at the bottom) and ended up riding along a narrow path between a tree-lined slope and the freeway sound reduction wall
Before negotiating a slippery hill down to the road
Looking back it may not have been the best shortcut
But I guess you never know until you try!
