Day 17: Fitzroy Crossing Rest Day


We were apparently raided by a group of very young indigenous boys in the early hours of the morning. Collis and I didn’t hear a thing but Jane (who wears earplugs) heard the giggling. They ate the chocolate and yoghurt and soft drinks out of the fridge in the camp kitchen. No real harm done.

Public holiday in WA today being WA Day. Jerry and Gareth cycled out to Geiki Gorge for the cruise. Lorraine, Michael and Geoff went on the bus tour around town and then the cruise. Joe and Pat did the shopping for some of the group. Jane and Dallas did their shopping. Annie came shopping with us. The cruise was enjoyed by everyone except maybe Geoff who kept falling asleep.

Pat and Dallas went on the afternoon bus tour and cruise and their feature was a spectacular sunset over the gorge. This rest day couldn't have come early enough for Mike who is making the most of the day resting, drinking and eating. He needs to get back to his former self so that he can finish this ride with aplomb.


Most riders ate in tonight with a group of them having a group BBQ. Annie and I went to the restaurant for dessert after having 90 second rice with stagg chilli. We deserved it I think. I spent most of the afternoon cooking for the bush camp and then to the pool for a swim. Another hot day with quite a bit of cloud build up but only a few drops of rain drying as soon as it hit the ground.
