A freezing start at 5.00am this morning - fingers, toes, lips numb with cold. Even struggled to mouth the words to "Sun Arise"!
Straight, flat road - should have been the perfect ride except for 40kms of unmanned road works!
Record rainfall in the rainy season had resulted in swollen creeks and rivers and flooded roads.

This area of the Great Northern Highway and plains was severely affected, which explains the healthy rivers and creeks we saw yesterday. Areas of the bush are still under water.
Road damage is major with potholes, corrugation, edges of road washed away etc. With so much bumping, we were concerned for our rear axles, which take the weight of the trailers.
Arrived at the Roadhouse at 11.00am, had early lunch, then settled into our tiny, budget room to do our chores.
This is big cattle rearing country - and they're very proud of it - statues and photos everywhere.
Steak tastes good, too - even in the hamburgers!
