Dead kangaroos stink!
We left Bourke after Tracy and Aaron changed our road tyres for knobby dirt ones. Despite urging, they refused to take any money for their time so if your ever in Bourke please see Cross Road Tyres. (see Photo)
It was raining all the way to the start of the dirt and the first 200 meters was deep sand. Both Greg and I thought that our 380km to Tiboorburra was going to be challenging (especially after all the locals told us that there was heaps of mud, clay and water). As it turned out, the road was fantastic. Lots a bulldust, sand, gibber road and some clay. All three of us had a ball till I noticed that the trailer seemed to be low on one side. On inspection we noticed that a suspension bolt had snapped so some bush mechanic repairs got us going again.
Not long after Greg's bike stopped. A loose battery cable from all the corrugations. Again, quickly fixed and on the road with more dust and sand.
We camped at the side of the road under millions of stars. (see photo)
We arrived at Tibooburra at about 10.30am and quickly found a mechanic to fix the trailer. Hopefully that will be the last of the trailer problems.
Lunch, fuel and quick refresh and we're now off to Corner Store.
No more wireless Internet access for next 3 days so we'll be back on air soon.
Hard to imagine having more fun than this!!!
