Blissful Day
Boondi Rock Camp to Southern Cross
Today started with waking up in a frost covered tent and it has ended with a warm room in a palace. Well in a pub called The Palace. Long distance cycle touring offers plenty of accommodation variety.
The roadside views included more the remarkable Goldfields Woodlands, high tech telecommunications, the historic Kalgoorlie water pipeline and the first green crop paddock I’ve seen since the Riverina 3000 km ago.
I also met a lucky-unlucky young couple at a roadhouse cafe not far from Southern Cross. Unlucky because during the night they’d crashed off the road into the woodlands and wrecked a hire trailer. The driver went to sleep at the wheel. Lucky because they were unhurt.
Day 38 covered 107km and was a pleasant, wind free treadle from Boondi Rock camp to Southern Cross town.
In Southern Cross we met a young Western Australian man called Ivor who is walking the trans Oz route to raise awareness of the plight of refugees.

From the east for the water would be a long haul.
