Day 21: Carnarvan to Wooramel Retreat

Beautiful morning for a ride. Not too far to ride today-118 kms. The scenery is still pretty blah ( John Tracey I am seeing what you meant last time). I mean to say it's not unpleasant but doesn't change too often. At the moment it is all pretty flat with scrubby trees everywhere. No dramas out on the road today.

We came into the Wooramel Retreat fairly early afternoon and picked a lovely spot next to the river bed under some huge river gums. There is plenty of room for the riders to spread out and separate from us (not sure why but they like to get away from Collis and I). We went for a walk and Collis had a swim in the river before we wandered up to the natural hot spas. These are really lovely with brown spa water filling a large tank with the temperature around 36 degrees. Strange occurrence that the 5 people in the spa all jumped out when we got in. Maybe I'm becoming paranoid but hard not to at the moment.

The retreat had home cooked meal packs available for sale at $20 a pack. Collis had Moroccon Goat and the others tried the lamb dish, pork and another goat I think. The mosquitoes were a bit nasty tonight so Collis and I jumped in the truck to read but the others made themselves a campfire and sat around chatting for awhile. Lovely quiet night.
