Another Corker! Hughenden to Marathon Rest Area - 67kms

Left at daybreak and into a great tail wind. Cycled a never-ending  ribbon of road, through 67kms of flat, prairie-like, treeless  landscape.

Flocks of noisy rosellas flew overhead and hundreds of small, yellow/green finch- like birds swooped and dived in twittering "clouds", searching for seeds in the long, dry grasses.

Grass hoppers leapt out of the grass and across the road in front of us as we rode by.

Reached Marathon Rest Area by midday and glad to get out of the heat. There are toilets but the only shade is provided by 2 picnic table areas. The whole area is very exposed, so we'll have to expect a windy night!
