Australia is home to some of the largest spiders and most poisonous animals on the planet due to their relative isolation during the period of continental drift. I would not mind spotting them a few Moultons.....LOL

I think the first Aussie Rules match I ever saw was a VFL Grand Final between Collingwood and Geelong, televised on ESPN sometime in the 80s. Not having been there, I don't have a feel for which teams' fans are Neanderthals, which bandwagon jumpers, and so on - but you've just straightened me out on Collingwood!
Back on topic: Us Aussies may have missed the Sesame Crunch ride, but I'm hoping to finally meet up with Jur in the not too distant future and go for a ride in my countryside. It's not a mountainous as some of Jur's rides, but there is some nice scenic routes.

I do, I use them for R20, MTB and tandem
Next two Sats booked out = 1x family commitments and 1x Club road race Championships
Should be free after that.... I hope. Let me know what sort of ride and distance you want to do so I can plan the appropriate route.
BTW, there is an Audax ride at Gisbourne on Sat 13th November, choice of 130+ or 80+ kms including climbing Mt Macedon, beautiful area to ride. I'm hoping to do the 130+ km, if you're free come along.

Who's running it? I don't see it on the Audax Australia calender.
[edit] Don't worry, found it.
