I envy you.

OK.   Finally got a new rear tyre fitted at 4.30 thisarvo so I am off again early tomorrow, headed for Wooramel Roadhouse,  which is south of Carnarvon.   I expect to arrive in Perth on Thursday afternoon.   That tyre must be made of gold, as it cost $465 for the tyre,  shipping from Perth,  and labour for fitting.  :eek

Hopefully Wombat will be able to join us at Alfreds and you can share stories of buying tyres in out of the way places.

It was either pay that,  or risk riding into Perth on canvas. I am looking forward to being on the move again.    :thumbsup

Almost 800km run tomorrow, rest well Pete.



Fuel available about 280 km at Nanutarra roadhouse, straight down the hwy, and just past the Nanutarrra Road junction turnoff.

Tour Day 49. Currently 22 degrees at 6am WA time, rising to 33 today.
Carnarvon slightly cooler with a top of 28 expected, currently 13.
Petes spot is now active, and shows him moving about in the caravan park.
Could be heading for the HWY.

I was talking to a mate yesterday, updating details of your trip, and he asked me if you had seen any camels?

I replied "Unsure, probably plenty of butts around, but very hard to distinguish what brand?" :grin

Pete left the caravan park around 6.15am WST and is now heading southwest from Karratha. Time to take the creases out of the trousers after sitting around for the past few days.
