Rest Day Marree It’s 249pm on Sunday the 30 May 2021 I have appreciated another day in Marree today.

Just hanging outContinue reading “Day 29 Marree”

Distance today 70km at 13km/hr It’s 709pm on Thursday the 27 May 2021 We woke this morning to the full moon still shining his best before sunrise. Nice view from the tent all snug and cosy.

Distance today 35km Ave 10km/hr It’s 6.47pm on Thursday the 25 May 2021. Woke this morning and wondered over to the Mirra Mitta Bore to check it out.

Distance today 50km It’s 818pm on Monday the 24 May 2021 What a nuts day with up and down moments that I imagine are going to be pretty common given the challenge and the insane amount of unplanned events that will happen.

Distance today 85km at 14km/hr It’s 616pm on Friday the 28 May 2021 It’s fire o’clock at Clayton station campgrounds. The station provides this facility for campers for $10 a car per night.

It’s 6pm on Friday the 21 May 2021 It’s been a really great couple of days enjoying lots of chats with my family and preparing for stage two of the challenge-The Birdsville Track. I don’t imagine there’s going to be too much Telstra access over the next 9 days until we arrive in Marree. That’sContinue reading “Day 20 Birdsville”
