Where are you staying in Port Augusta, Pete?
The Canberra crowd plus the anonymous member from Victoria are staying in Balranald on Thursday night and will probably stay in Port Augusta on Firday night.

Only 1pm Perth time though.....

at this rate, Lionel should reach Norseman around 6pm eastern time
-
Yep, Wendy... but this is for people in the eastern time zone who like me, are envious of the trip, because we cannot be there :grin ;-*
-
I'm so jealous of those riding over, I fly out early Thursday morning so will still get to attend the rally, just not get the experience of riding there and back
-
Don't get tired arms Wendy... it's a long way to fly.. :p :grin

Lionel has arrived in Norseman about 10 mins ago

And we are downing a few EMU Exports before dinner . . . . . :beer

Glad to read you blokes are going fine :thumbs

I have decided that it is just too difficult to keep tabs on local time, interstate time,
and then there is the confusion of states who have it, or not, and a few state border towns
who break the rules don't exactly help, either.
So... I now have adopted just two standard reliable time zones which apply worldwide, regardless of what is indicated by a clock. :grin :thumb
