The scenery changed dramatically as soon as we left the coast but this wasn't until the 70 km mark. Up till then we had rolling sandhills and sea views. It was looking a little gloomy by the time we stopped for lunch. Doug and Di decided to follow Jacquei's example from yesterday and they rode through with just a jell to keep them going. The others stopped for lunch and it started raining as they arrived so they waited out the rain before leaving. Unfortunately Doug and Di couldn't miss the rain.
Once they turned inland, the wind was behind them and they really had a lovely run into Cummins. The scenery was of canola fields and wheat fields which were all looking very healthy and everywhere very green.
Cummins was a pleasant little town and we stayed at the community caravan park. We had to get the ablution keys fro the local deli and they gave us the master key for the laundry. It started raining again as we arrived so the ground was a little muddy but the rain didn't last long and there was a great shelter to place all the luggage so that it didn't get wet. The laundry was free so I did a load and then able to use the dryer. Great to get everything clean again. The riders went down to the pub for dinner but Collis and I had a chicken at camp and Jacquei joined us. The showers at this camp were judged the best out of all of Australia- they were strong and hot with lots of room to move around and a dry spot to put your clothes.
