The weather, the landscape the people not to mention the other drivers and cyclists on the road. We meet exotic birds whose names we had not heard of (Moreporks?) and what ostriches really think of cyclists. There are the possums too of course and the amazing landscapes she passes through. Cycling here however never seemed so dangerous.
