The occasional hot spring continues to amaze, as they are really too hot to bear… and the camping spots start to become somewhat ad-hoc.
There is plenty of evidence that it has been wet, although we haven’t seen much of it on our travels…
Sometimes you can see the curvature of the earth…. and the road often disappears.
OMG – water….
Lunch on day 14 is set near our first real water challenge…!
20 minutes after lunch, and we’re counting our blessings that this is only the first stretch of water… it was cool, but very muddy. After cleaning the bikes and our shoes, it’s off again to our Pandie Pandie campsite. Flies flies and more flies. Luckily, it’s Pete to the rescue with the trusty aero guard.
Pandie Pandie is a beautiful setting in the sand dunes.
We’re all excited on day 15, as we’re off to Birdsville for a welcome rest day.
We cross into QLD, quite a milestone really.
.. and finally, the halfway point by time… Birdsville!
The bakery is a big hit, and it’s high time to clean the bikes!
Some of us take a sunset tour, and we’re glad we did… simply stunning.
Back at the Birdsville Hotel, something is not quite right.. must be heatstroke as some of the boys forget that they are … boys..
Dinner at the pub is followed by much partying and frivolity…. and we’re up early the next morning for the Anzac Day services…
<end of days 12 top 15>
