Today we really got stuck into it. In a way the first three days have been a sort of introduction - 2 shorter days and a longer day but with strong tail winds. Today is the firstof the long days and there are many more to come. 169km from Southern Cross to Coolgardie.
A MUCH better day than yesterday. On the bikes at 7am to clear blue skies. It soon clouded over and was overcast all day. Threatened to rain on and off, but did not do so. Also a good strong tail wind all day. Averaged 28.2 kph and rolled into Coolgardie at 3:35pm.
Only two punctures and some maintenance work on a noisy crank.
Saw a big flock of red tailed black cockatoos trhis morning, as we had also the previous morning.
Had to get off the road at one point for a couple of monster trucks being transported. One shown in attached picture. The other picture is a bunch of amateur mechanics working on the noisy crank.
