Day 12 Madura to Cocklebiddy 93km

A much easier ride today. I can almost smell the Indian Ocean from here.

There was some mice in the room last night. I put double sided tape around the bike wheels so they couldn't climb up the bike and into the panniers.

There was about 60km of head wind today. The wind changed to be a side/tail wind that made the last 33km easier.

The country side was more or less uninteresting. Flat, a few trees.

Road kill count includes: camel, wedge tailed eagle, echidna, wombats, lizards, owls, mice, and hundreds of kangaroos.

The internet connection here is best since Ceduna. The computer at Madura had 51 instances of Internet Explorer opened. It was way too slow to add pictures.

Bunda Cliffs

Old Telegraph station. It must have been a hard life for the telegraphists in 1877, but at least they were on-line.

Just outside Yalata

 Dawn at bush camp #1, between Nundroo and Yalata.

The road goes forever. That's not a crosswalk painted, but a road landing strip for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Next stop will be a bush camp to the West of Caiguna on the 90 mile straight. I'll add an update at Caiguna if they have Internet.
