We fuelled up the jerry cans with 60 litres of fuel which, together with the bike tanks gives a range of about 650 km . We'd need every bit of this to cover us safely to the next fuel at Arkaroola. The roads are wide and safe so we sat on about 90km till we got to the Moomba gas plant and took some photo's.
Another long ride to Montacollena Bore which is an artisan bore in the middle of nothing. (The flies helped us eat lunch). Here, Greg's Dad decided he'd make his way slowly back to Adelaide before we peeled off onto more remote roads taking us through the southern part of the Strezlecki Desert and the very dry Lake Frome. The photo shows how arid it is.
We find that at about 4.30pm we've all had enough so we find a spot on the side of the track, get the camp chairs out and have a quick beer before erecting the tent. We slept in a creek bed near Terrapinia Springs which is about 60klm off the Strezlecki Track. (if you double click on the photo below you'll see the camping spot)
Chook cooked up a storm with a risotto.
We smell; we're dusty, and exhausted as we watched the sun go down.
Geez - we miss work!
(Remember to keep giving us comments - its good to know someone is watching!)
