The weather…"
Allan Tegg replied to Allan Tegg's discussion Mawson Trail inJuly"My God! We went over this road last October and it was firm and nice. In fact, from Adelaide to Clare we only had one day of light rain and that was mainly on the cycle path out of Adelaide. We have a year to work this out but everyone's…"
