What Hills? East Baines River Rest Area to Saddle Creek Rest Area - 58kms

Got away at 7.00am. Enjoyed a leisurely, short ride in anticipation of the hills forecast to come. Little to no traffic. 

“Clouds" of budgies cavorted over the golden grass - some of the tallest grass we've come across.
At the 43kms mark, we reached the Pinkerton Range - tall, flat topped, red hills, with distinct layers of rectangular shaped rocks near the tops and lots of large rock falls beneath. Fascinating!
The flat road meandered between the hills until we reached the rest area. And we had expected to be climbing hills! But we loved the ride and the rest area is rather special, too, snuggled between the rugged hills - and this time there's a toilet--well, a dirty, and rather smelly long drop with complimentary flies! Sometimes the bush has more appeal!
Today's ride took us over 3,000kms!

Another short ride through the ranges tomorrow to a Bush Camp near the NT/WA border. Gradually closing in on Broome!
