The day started off with a fantastic cooked breakfast out on the patio. Collis and I managed to get 20 farm fresh eggs provided as well. They allowed us to fill up all our tanks and containers with rain water as well. If anyone is out this way and looking for a really great place to stay then you can't go past Wirraminna. The bore water is full of minerals and a bit odorous but apparently really good for the skin. My hair came out really soft but Theo said his hair was a bit dry.
Morning tea was at Glendambo which has become very run down. We had the company of a very friendly kelpie for a while until his owner arrived from a nearby property and took him home. Gareth decided to buy a coffee, one for him and one for Jane, and handed over $10, only to be told it would cost $14. Not sure if it was worth the cost. Kirsten bought a small bottle of coke and it cost $4.70. Hot cross buns for morning tea.
Lots of cattle grids which the riders have been advised to walk their bikes across. Most have ignored this advice but Theo and Jane were doing it. Until one time we drove past Theo and he rode across the grid and waved to us at the same time. My heart skipped as he looked like he was about to come off his bike once again. Theo reassured me that it looked worse than it was as he does a mountain bike jump.
Lunch was on the side of the road at 90 kms but no-one was really hungry. I spotted a dingo or a wild dog slinking through the bushes at the side of the road. The temperature was warming up quite a bit by lunchtime. We had another stop at 135 km mark for water only. The camp site was revised and we will be going further than first estimated. In the afternoon they had little or no wind and if any wind then it would be a tail wind. The trailer had another blow out (second one for the trip). It was so violent that it blew the mudguard off.
Great bush camp spot tonight with no spiders or those pesky bush rats. Lots of flies were the only drawback. Flynets came into use. We had curried tuna and rice followed by apple crumble and custard. Most of it went and enjoyed by all.
