It was apparently a very noisy night last night which I mostly slept through thanks to a little tablet that helped with the sleeping issue. I did wake when some huge road train sounded like it was coming through the tents but that was just about it for me.
I stayed around and assisted Collis to prepare the morning tea and load the truck before he headed off to the morning tea stop and I headed back towards Darwin. Apparently the riders beat him to the morning tea stop at 40 km mark but he was able to provide a reasonable snack for them. Hayes Creek was the lunch time stop and the owners of the roadhouse weren't all that helpful when they asked to set up outside the facility. Most of the riders spent money in the shop. Gareth and Dallas were riding together mostly today and Dallas complained of some back pain at lunch but didn't get into the car.
Everyone arrived safely at Emerald Springs but the campers did not have a working toilet or shower so Collis took a donger, a couple of the boys took one as well so the boys were catered for. Collis organised them to open up a donger for the girls to use. Fancy not having a bathroom available. Strange for this roadhouse as it has previously won lots of awards but it has been up for sale for awhile now.
Apparently the mozzies are a bit of a problem there as well.
