I think Lindsay may be travelling with Glen? ... they are now past Bordertown, and Glen said to me a couple days ago that they may stop overnight at Keith or further on. Making good time.

Lindsay is making good time after disembarking the ferry this morning, he is now past Port Pirie and on the way to Port Augusta.
Google says 11 hours, and he is pretty much on schedule.

Appears that Lindsay and Glen have stopped at Port Augusta for the night.
Rest well my friends, going to be a hot day tomorrow.. 44 degrees estimated there, 45 at Ceduna and 34 at Eucla.

I’m tucked up in my motel room in the aircon. Bike is repacked ready for a very early start.

Aim is to get to Ceduna and wait for the expected cold change.

Glen and Theresa are elsewhere, making their own way home at a more leisurely pace.

Looks as tho Lindsay arrived in Ceduna some time back. Must have been an early start, because it's a 5 hour ride.

Unsure where WAG is, but Wendy is back on the mainland at east Geelong, and Cerebral, Bodø and Biggles are still touring Tassie.

He is now only minutes from the border and should reach Eucla in around a half an hour.
Currently refuelling at BP Border Village.

Wendy is also on the move in Geelong, getting mobile just a few minutes ago.

Suspect she is visiting friends in the close area?

Wendy has returned to Geelong central, and now heading north towards Lara.
Lindsay is very close to Norseman, has ridden just over 700 km so far today.

Wendy is at Laverton, and making good miles.

Lindsay is now past Norseman on the north run to Kambalda.
(Way back in the early/mid 70's, I worked in Kambalda nickel mines)

Wendy has now reached Melbourne, and Bodø and Cerebral Knievel are still cruising Tas.
Not too many roads missed there

Travelling is great, but it's always nice to return home again.
Well done, Lindsay. About 1450 Km ridden today.

What a difference a day makes.

Yesterday
11.5deg somewhere around Kimba.
40deg by the time I reached Ceduna
Waited 6 hours.
I left Ceduna just after 4pm.
Reached 48deg as I passed Penong.
A dramatic cool change about an hour after I left Ceduna, dropping around 20deg.
By the time I reached Nullarbor, it was around 18deg. Still blowing crazy S/W.

Today cruisy 14deg to 28deg with gentle breeze.
All unpacked and washing sorted
Grandkids came over
Showered
Bike cleaning tomorrow  :thumbs

 :-++ great effort. The conditions in Adelaide were terrible. It would have been a lot worse going west.
