Kevin has kept you up to date, so no need to restate my days journey. I feel that my trip has entered a new phase as I retrace some kilometers and strike out west, on roads with 110km/h speed limits and road trains. The country is very green and lush after the floods, and I am told that further west it is infested with bugs and flies.

The event of the day was my $2 hot cross buns and coffee at Maccas. The idiot squished the bun in one of those sandwich makers until it about 5mm thick. I was more amused than cross, and other customers were having a great chuckle.

You could have been hot and cross.

What is the reasoning behind squishing the bun?

No. Plans have changed so its Ricnhmond tomorrow to visit the fossil centre. It's the heart of Queenslands dinosaur region.

A must for old bikers and old bikes to visit?

More than once I have been called a fossil or a dinosaur.
