Johnny appears to arrived at Emerald around 21:35, having ridden a tad over 1100 Km for today.

Key spot was like a lazy dog I arrived in Emerald at 6.10 Qld time. I had to restart my ph and spot to get it to catch up..

No further update for past 2 hours, I think must be out of telecommunication range

We will have to wait until Johnny hits civilization again, and posts of his location.
I remember that I had poor coverage when in that area, and it obviously has not improved over the past 5 years or so.

Coffee frappes seem to have motivated a lot of my miles as well.

Reported spot location as of 19:00 about 100km from Atherton.
Should arrive around 20:00, or a little after. (Southern plastic time)

Looks like Johnny arrived in Atherton about twenty mins ago.

"Take first exit at next roundabout, 605 KM!"

Bloody last minute instructions.

I hope he fills his panniers etc with Bowen mangoes.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #49 on:** November 28, 2017, 07:34:32 PM »

Oh YUM!

On the way home from Townsville last, I had a couple of mangos for each of the 8 days of travel home, and still had a half dozen to put in the fridge!
