A full moon lit our packing efforts this morning. Left at 7.00am and battled an unhelpful cross wind for much of the ride.
Del spotted what looked like a piece of rope at the edge of the road - and it was moving! On investigation we found that it was a 1.5m convoy of big, fluffy caterpillars, wriggling across the road in Indian file, head to tail. It's doubtful that all the line would get across safely. Wondered if the back half would know where to go if the rest were flattened.
At last we reached the Stuart Highway - the main road north - and took a cabin at the Three Ways Roadhouse.
Need to restock our food supplies as soon as we can. No grocery outlet for several days though.
Time for a good clean up and rest before we continue our ride heading north on the busy Stuart Highway.
