Day 141: Rest day

October 16, 2022

I slept so good and I was happily lazy getting up at 10am. I had stoopid coughing fits during the night. I sucked on lozenges while I slept. I returned to the French cafe for an excellent tasty brunch.

I then went to the info centre and saw Mathew Flinders and his cat Trim.

I'm not fond of horse racing. Makybe Diva was an accomplished horse and won 3 Melbourne Cups. She was owned by a SA fisherman.

There was a car show on at the foreshore. There was maybe 100 cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

An early Australian made car, the 1956 FJ Holden.

Another Australian made car, the 1965 XP Ford. I almost bought one of these a long time ago.

This is a 1963 EH Holden. This is almost identical to my car which is the only car I've owned for 20 years.

I like to think that I'm saving the environment by continuing to use a product instead of throwing it away. But perhaps I'm destroying the environment because it doesn't have the latest environmental emission controls.

I need to ask Dr Karl this question.

I went to a hardware store and bought some more cable ties.

I need to identify my front hub cables so when I remove the front wheel, I know where to replace them.

While in the camp kitchen, Shannon (aged 25) came on by exercising his athletic ability. I have no skills to do this.

I met Rita from Adelaide, who was doing some amazing quilting.

She donates her work to local charities. I was very impressed.

Today's ride: 16 km (10 miles)
Total: 8,427 km (5,233 miles)
