Monday 23th May, Echuca - Nathalia The day started out with an underlying tone of hostility after a chaotic night where a number of crew members were abruptly woken up when stood on by another crew member. Now, I am not the heaviest sleeper in the world, and usually if I get a hasty wake up in the middle of the night, it takes me ages to get back to sleep... needless to say; I was one of the crew members fuming in the morning because of my disturbed rest. However, this hostile mood was rapidly transformed into an exciting positive vibe as we joined the community breakfast at the church! We rocked up expecting cereal, toast, maybe some fruit. However we were shocked to find a kitchen full of volunteers cooking eggs, beans and bacon (although meat is not technically part of our Otesha food mandate!). So after a delicious breakfast and some interesting breakfast friends, we set out on our way to Nathalia, approx 60km.   Something I have noticed on this ride is the amount of road kill that creeps up on us and attacks our nostrils. Today I was pretty shocked to see a dead kangaroo on the side of the road. But it wasn't the dead roo that I found disturbing, it was the fact that I could clearly see its heart sitting in the middle of the fringe that I was riding on. And at this point I was even more disturbed at myself because I had to fight a strong urge to get of my bike and closely inspect this organ, and maybe poke it with a stick. Only later when I was thinking about it I decided it wasn't that weird to want to take a closer look because, in my whole life, I have never actually seen a real heart. Although, I'm not so sure that it is a particularly common occurrence.
