Day 5 Wirulla to Ceduna 95km

Thanks for all the comments and words of encouragement.
Today was fantastic. I had 95km of strong tail winds. This meant I could ride uphill at 20km/h, compared to yesterday when I could only manage 12km/h ... downhill.
Ceduna is the last large town before hitting the Nullarbor.
Yesterday I met the first cyclists heading East. They had left Perth 35 days ago enroute to Sydney and had nothing but headwinds.

 The inside photo of the helmet is of a curled up spider. I don't know where he hopped on board.



Occupy Kimba camp.

Ironic?

Alex, Dean and Greg - good luck.

  2. Hi Rob,
    Go Mr Adventure. Finn was very impressed with your Mercedes bonnet find. Hope you don't have to deal with too many punctures and as the Irish say "May the wind be always at your back." Keep the news flowing, us arm chair travellers are loving it.

    Russell, Sharon, Casey and Finn
