Everyone had got on the road before we had a chance to make them any coffee or to even chat to them before they left today. We had assumed that they were leaving around 7.30 am and they thought they had informed us that they were leaving at 7 am. Some missed communication had occurred and this caused us to be a little concerned about supporting them adequately today and they thought we were not providing them with their morning plunger coffee. It was eventually all sorted but not until we had made it to Coral bay.
Collis had warned them that the wind would be their enemy today and even though they were riding only 70 kms (normally considered a half day) it would be a hard days ride. 13 kms outside of Coral Bay they do a right hand turn and then the wind should be up their bottoms. His prediction had been absolutely correct but they all managed the ride and we were in Coral Bay by midday.
Gareth and Jurgen are camping and Jill has taken a cabin. Collis and I are on a site at the opposite end of the camping ground on a powered site. Tomorrow is a rest day. This is one of my favourite places in Australia.
