This mixed-surface bicycle ride began and ended in Burra, South Australia.
Burra, South Australia:
“Burra is a pastoral centre and historic tourist town in the mid-north of South Australia. It lies east of the Clare Valley in the Bald Hills range, part of the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, and on Burra Creek. The town began as a single company mining township that, by 1851, was a set of townships (company, private and government-owned) collectively known as “The Burra”. The Burra mines supplied 89% of South Australia’s and 5% of the world’s copper for 15 years, and the settlement has been credited (along with the mines at Kapunda) with saving the economy of the struggling new colony of South Australia.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burra,_South_Australia
Midnight Oil House
“The cottage, located on ‘Cobb and Co Corner’, was first photographed by iconic Australian landscape photographer, Ken Duncan, and rose to fame on the album cover of Midnight Oil’s ‘Diesel and Dust’ record. “Known as the ‘Midnight Oil House’, this cottage has become one of Australia’s most photographed ruins.” – Visit Burra
