Boring
ride due west across the savannah. Not much traffic, but due to early
start there are lots of wallaby on the road side. Care taken to
distinguish between the wallabies and the ant hills. They are the
same size and general colour. Watch for the twitch ears!
Stop
at Croydon for coffee and some supplies. Call Celeste to tell her
where we are and where we are planning to go. Also Leigh & Hez
who are about to fly to Lord Howe.
Leichardt
Lagoon camp site is 25 km short of Normanton. A private camp site on
a station. $7 each with hot showers. Good enough!
After
setting up camp, I head into Normanton for beer and to check it out.
The place is dead – only thing open is the Pub. Locals advise that
there will be no garages open tomorrow (Sunday) so we will ride to
Karumba where fuel is available on Sundays.
Like
last night, there are heaps of water birds on the lagoon next to the
camp site. Mossies too!
