I was up early for another big day. I've said that a lot recently. Another headwind was forecast for all day and it was accurate.

I had a nice shoulder riding through WA. In SA today, there was no shoulder.

I also saw 3 reptiles:

I found similar looking snakes on the internet but none from this location. This may be a task for my researcher friend Bill.
Bill later identified this as a Master's snake.

Already spent over an hour on the snake and it is now past midnight. Maybe someone in OZ will help.

Another tiring day, yet I was rewarded by beauty.

I spent a lot of time looking for whales and failed to spot any.
There is no one else camped here. This has to be my best cliff top camp spot ever.
