Camping Again! Elliott Caravan Park to Dunmarra Roadhouse - 102kms

Met Andrew at the campground. A seasoned cyclist, riding Adelaide to Darwin, he left after us this morning and we passed each other several times during the day. 

Left at daybreak and struggled with cross wind and long inclines all day. Lots of brief stops helped to allay the dreaded seat pressure. Got extremely hot, though. 

Saw a couple of kangaroos but the roadkill was mainly small wallabies. 

Arrived at Dunmarra Roadhouse around 2.00pm and disappointed to find, after a long ride, that all cabins were booked out. So it's camping again tonight!
 
It's the school holidays so everywhere is busy, but with no mobile service for two days, we've been unable to book ahead. Them's the breaks, I guess! 

Many thanks to Leonie and Kate and Trixie and family at Dunmarra for their generous donations. Much appreciated.
