Thursday 12.3.09
We left 1 1/2 hours late. My ride was hot and long. It started out beautifully, which it usually does but when the heat builds up it gets very hard. We stopped early on at Murchisons river where Chris had an unsuccessful go at fishing, and the flies had a go at him.
While I was riding, I noticed the soil seems to be getting redder up here. I also saw lots of dead roos on the side of the road and smelt even more. I passed 4 large trucks each with a house on them. For the last 500 kms or so we've both been blown around by the trucks a fair bit. Normally, if I pull over to the side, I'm ok but not so recently. Today however, was much better.
We finally arrived at Monkey Mia very hot and very tired. We booked into the caravan park/resort and went in the ocean for a swim. It was really lovely. While I was outside trying to escape the heat, some emus came up and checked me out. It was really quite funny.
