Into the Outback! Mt Isa to David Hall Rest Area - 98kms

Winter Solstice today.  Up with the birds this morning, loaded up to the gunnels with water and emergency food for the long day--or maybe days ahead. 

Had a great ride for the first 25kms, then Del had yet another puncture. Sure that there must be something in the tyre causing it, we eventually discovered a tiny shard of glass. Puncture was fixed and off we went at a great rate of knots, to make up for lost time.

Riding in the afternoon heat was tiring, but we eventually arrived at the David Hall Rest Area at 3.30pm.

Imagine a large, round area covered in stones and hard, red soil. No toilets or trees, just a roofed concrete picnic table. That's our home for the night! Yay!
