I used my leatherman squirt pliers to remove it. The wire was about 5mm into the tyre. Thankfully the tyre didn't go flat when I pulled it out.
I had a little tailwind so I was able to manage a high average speed.
I arrived at the rest area to find toilets and shaded picnic tables. There is no water here. I had loaded up with water this morning before I departed.
Today I've reached 1,500kms since I started this year. If I include last year's total of 7,000, that makes 8,500kms.
This is the halfway point of my 17,000km trip around Australia. Wahoo!
This land belongs to the Nyikina and Mangala people. In 2014 they were granted native title of more than 20,000km².
In the hot afternoon, one kind caravaner gave me a cold bottle of water.
There is phone reception here but it's not strong enough to do the blog.
Today's ride: 62 km (39 miles)
Total: 1,500 km (932 miles)
