I forgot to mention that yesterday I met Sol. He is a Kiwi just cycling around as he pleases. He does this for 6 months per year. He then has to return home so he is still eligible for the NZ retirement pension.
He has no fixed address. No house, no car, no property, no stuff in storage. Everything he owns is on his bicycle.
He was a nice guy. We spoke a little about bikes and mostly about vegetable gardening. Sometimes he does farm work. Sorry I didn't get a photo. I didn't even get to see his bike which is a Vivente.

It was a very small beachside town.
There has been very few trucks and no road trains since I left the Nullarbor.

There were many attractive stone buildings in Cowell. I should have taken more photos. There were more stone buildings in this small town than I have seen anywhere else on this trip.
