Border Crossing! Camooweal to Avon Downs Rest Area - 70kms

Had early breakfast in the roadhouse dining room. Ben, the Camooweal Roadhouse owner, very generously shouted us, which was much appreciated.
Thank you so much, Ben.

At 13kms we crossed the border into the Northern Territory - and clocks went back 30mins.
Scenery quickly developed into the grassy Barkly tablelands and herds of cattle could be seen grazing. 

Battled a strong side wind all the way. 

Del again developed a flat rear tyre - and pumped it up several times to get us to the rest area.

Avon Downs is a popular free camping spot. Every space is full. Offers of coffee, help etc from caravaners and a generous donation from Julie and Quenton from Monto. Many thanks to you both.

Fixed the puncture and replaced Del's tyre to see if that made a difference.
