Another hot day today. Annie shouted the bag of ice for today with the proviso that the boys don't put their hands into it as not sure where they have been- so I will have to dish it out to them. The girls are all encouraged to wash their hands before dipping into the ice.
Downhill after morning tea and the road was very smooth. Lunch was at Mary's Pool which is just so much dryer than previous times and not many campers at the moment. One guy decided to start up his chainsaw when we arrived and this got up Jerry's nose a bit, so he was going to ask him to cease but Collis stopped him from going over. He stopped soon after.
Some uphill in the last 20 kms so Jane's profile from last night that showed all downhill was a bit disappointing. 4 kms of of dirt road to finish the day into the cattle station stay. It was a lovely stop, Wendy had homemade lemonade ready and cut up watermelon ready for all riders on their arrival. We had arranged a meal for the riders with Wendy making lasagna, both with meat and without followed by a couple of pear tarts with fresh cream. Lovely!
Mike decided to take a cabin to assist with his recuperation. The rest camped. Wendy let us use her cooler to store the eski's and she has made us some ice blocks for tomorrow.
