Day 18. (0 miles) Ceduna


Yay!!!! A day off! Ceduna is a very nice place to stop off. We started with a long walk before breakfast (we can’t sleep in!!!)  Then checked out the town and the fantastic supermarket!!! Fresh granary bread, lots of fruit..... what luxuries!!!! Had a spot of sunbathing by our motel pool then a picnic lunch with last nights leftovers and fresh bread.
A bit later a swim in the sea. There is a sea pool far out along the jetty in deep water . It’s surrounded by a shark net but as it was high tide we were a bit afraid a shark might get in over!! Still we had a lovely swim ! ( perfect water temp.)
We went to the
Breakfast! Smashed avo and the works!






same bar/ restaurant for drinks and dinner and again it was superb! Back in our motel now and its bedtime. Back on the road tomorrow!



A train passing by on our early morning walk.



The netted pool is far out on the right. There is a ramp and ladder off the jetty.

Day 15 Nullarbor Roadhouse to Nundroo (73 miles)

Image
FLIES, FLIES AND MORE FLIES!!!! That was my impression of today! They were everywhere... in the camper, outside, banging off the windows.... huge biting flies! It was a boring cycling day with not a lot to see ( except flies!) The flat roads are now becoming hilly and the vegetation is changing to a bit more normal looking landscape. We would appear to have left camels behind ( not that we ever saw any) as the signs now only show kangaroos and wombats! We stayed the night at nundroo roadhouse ( bit of a dump) . A fly in the room kept us awake half the night!🦟🔫 Dick Faldo in action!!! ( spot the invisible club!)

Day 30 Goolgari to West Wyalong. (92 miles)

Image
On the road by 7.30. A cool start but lots of gentle, gradual hills. The road surface was unbelieveably rough and Dermot’s wrists and bum are aching. The wind was ok at the start but then it became a headwind so not easy! Prettier scenery with lots of farmland today. A nice change from scrub. Long straight road......  Wonderful Silo Art in Weethalle NSW  There is actually a Silo Art Trail. Fantastic! This is our route and we are now roughly where the key is pointing. Less than 500 km to Bondi Beach now..... we can almost hear the waves!!! I am reading “Don’t stop me now” by Vassos Alexander, 26.2 tales of a runner’s obsession. It is beginning to inspire me so this morning I ran a mile non stop!!!!(knackered all day!!!) Dermot forgot to mention his Emu sighting yesterday . It ran along the verge beside him for a while then wandered off. That may or may not be of interest.  Stopping for lunch! Downtown West Wyalong

Day 33 Bathurst to Springwood (92 miles)

Image
The day started with a puncture before he set off!!! The culprit was a three corner jack also known as a bindii. They are a cyclist’s nightmare and God help anyone who stands on one in their bare feet!! Nasty wee buggers!!! It was a day of 2 mountain passes, each over 3000 feet. Unfortunately it was wet and overcast and we missed the beautiful scenery as the clouds refused to lift. As it was going so well we decided to keep on going past Katoomba ( our original stopover) and also it was all downhill! We carried on looking for a camping place called Bulls rest but it was too wet to stay. We kept going to Springwood and have a hotel room tonight. The Royal Hotel opposite the station.  Tomorrow will be the last day and less than 50 miles to go!!! Yay!  Always listen to your mother!!!!!
