Thanks for the updates throughout the night Kev

Awesome work Spanner, keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to post up a comment every now and then

(I know it can be a little hard to think of other things like posting on the forum sometimes when out on a ride, it's great to read the comments from you

)

Anyway have fun, I'm off to bed as I have work again tonight, enjoy the remainder of the ride mate and keep the updates coming Kev

Thanks Shiney..

Sleep well. I have to go out for a short while to deliver a hard drive at 9.30. Will be home again before 9.45
Will catch Spanner again then.

Thanks Kev.

Same sentiments Shiney.

Spanner & Kev,

I accidently touched the open padlock icon on my tablet when I was changing grip, and now is not updating. Hopefully I haven't stuffed it for all.

Cheers,
Gary

In my old stamping grounds, Bourke. Will be warmish out there today!

Very quick refuel at Frank's BP!
He's on a mission!

Start and Destination in frame for some progress perspective in just over 12 hours.

Cheers,
Gary

Using the Glympse app to view it.

Glympse is good for live, but you only have a 4 hour window for sharing. Spanner is doing a good job to remember to reset it.

Cheers,
Gary

Phew!

In Cunnamulla for fuel and a short stint in the aircon.

It's 38 deg out there and I'm feeling it!

Feeling good though so onward solders rides!

Doing great, Dave.

200 km to Charleville, and next fuel stop is planned for Tambo, another 200 km ahead

Biggles · « **Reply #66 on:** January 14, 2017, 02:27:33 PM »

OA 92.75 is quite respectable.
He's doing amazingly well in that heat. I'm staying indoors in Brissie- I went 10 kays on the bike a couple of hours ago and the bike temp read 40.

Biggles · « **Reply #67 on:** January 14, 2017, 02:38:38 PM »

He did a lap of the main street of Charleville- now been there, seen that! Nothing to see here!

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #68 on:** January 14, 2017, 03:05:44 PM »

Last time I was in this area I counted over 70 kangaroos between Morven /Augathella / Tambo.....
But that was early morning. With todays heat, they will hopefully stay away from the road.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #69 on:** January 14, 2017, 03:14:50 PM »

1500 km covered in around 17 and a quarter hours. Not too shabby. I bet he will welcome the 'cooler?' travel this evening

Biggles · « **Reply #70 on:** January 14, 2017, 03:26:58 PM »

At this stage he's got about 6 hours to spare, so guess he'll take a nap somewhere.
Which way from Barcaldine- east or west? East might be cooler.

Not sure which route he is taking back to Townsville, maybe Barcy / Aramac / Torrens Creek? ... maybe Barcy / Clermont / Charters Towers?

Arrival at Fuel stop in Tambo in about 1 minute
