The Pink Panther! Hi Way Inn to Larrimah Wayside Inn - 93kms

At Hi Way Inn caught up with cyclist Andrew and met seasoned German cyclist, Ute, riding from Townsville to Broome.

Had breakfast in the restaurant before heading off. The placemats - well, very Northern Territory!
 
A road train parked outside carrying army vehicles, measured 70 paces long!

A perfect riding day - flat road and minimal wind, but still had to work hard.

Arrived at Larrimah Wayside Inn at 1.15pm. It's quirky, has a menagerie of bedraggled birds and a small crocodile, a few very run down motel units and a dusty unkempt caravan park.
It's hotel, the Pink Panther Pub, claims to be the highest pub in the NT. We had a cold drink, then took a budget room (complete with ancient cobwebs) for a quick getaway in the morning.
