Day 30 Goolgari to West Wyalong. (92 miles)

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 15 Nullarbor Roadhouse to Nundroo (73 miles)

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!)
