2,000kms Cycled! Three Ways Roadhouse to Banka Banka Station - 77kms

A great sleep in spite of a yappy dog outside somewhere near our room. Took off at 7.00am and making good speed when Del noticed the tube in his front tyre beginning to balloon out near the valve. Wanting to avoid a blow out, Del replaced the tube in record time.

Cycled past hectares of termite cities and many totally dry creeks. Traffic much busier than on the Barkly Highway.

Had useful and nuisance cross winds and, after a break at Attack Creek Rest Area, were rewarded with a good tail wind all the way to Banka Banka. Completed 2,000kms already!

Banka Banka is a working cattle station with parking space but no powered sites, petrol or stores.
It has very minimal charges, drinkable water, toilets and showers - and the campervaners love it. They're parked cheek to jowl!
 
Tonight we're being entertained around the campfire by an Australian country singer. Good voice and song selection, but we didn't stay long as we need our sleep. 

Our little tent is sandwiched closely between two campervans.
Hope no one snores too loudly tonight!
