laST night I said my farewells and Wendy lead us out of Darwin, she wanted to make sure we left, 11.30pm I followed my wonderful hoST to Noonamah where I re focused the new floodlights then rode off into the night. I STopped at Adelaide river and changed my gloves to Zarkie's and put my Zarkie liner under my OzSTOC jacket as the night was cool with the wind factor. About 3am I was so glad I did. About 4.30 am I stopped in a truck bay and STripped off my riding jeans
and put my pants liner on as I was getting cold and it was making me tired.I also STopped again and had a power nap 20 mins STill plugged in and warm.. juST before dawn..
I was juST motoring along at 120kph til it was daylight. I think the natives have eaten all the wildlife.
, with great lighting and made Katherine about 2.30 and re fueled, then again at Hiway Inn, Day waters and had coffee & meds. it was daylight now thank god.. My next STop was 3ways where I had a toasted bacon & egg sanga and more coffee and walked around a bit to relieve my sore numb butt. I STopped about 30k's along the Barkly hwy to STrip out of the Zarkie gear & Next STop for fuel was Barkly HomeSTead, to top up the tank and enjoy the laST of NT's speed limits.
I also passed a
2up about 80k's from the NT end at 12.10pm NT time..
We left NT and into Qld and again fuelled up at Camooweal for the laST leg onto Mt Isa. I noticed the fuel laSTs longer in Qld
and it takes longer to get to the next town, funny that.
Tomorrow is another 1200 ish day to Cape Hillsborough Mackay.. then 3 days rest. I need it. I'm buggered and off to sleep now..
