Packing the car up was a bit disorganised today as Collis was on his own but he did eventually get everything into the trailer and truck. Morning tea was at the 45 km mark but Jerry got some mixed messages and missed the morning tea stop. Luckily Collis caught him at the 87 km mark and gave him some water. Lunch ended up at the spot Collis caught Jerry. The riders have had a head wind for most of the day with the wind starting at 9 am and not really dropping off until after 3 pm. Most of the riders struggled but they all made it in.
Annie and Jane met up with me in Darwin and we drove down to Katherine stopping at Emerald Springs for a coffee and cake stop. We arrived at Katherine just after the riders got in to camp so it was well timed. It was nice having a couple of days off on my own but it is now back to work.
Very hot in Katherine so straight to the pool for a swim and cooking up a storm for dinner as the restaurant isn't open. The new boys have rented a car for tonight and tomorrow and they used it to go out for dinner at the golf club. All reports were that it wasn't really worth the effort.
