Left at daybreak after a fruit salad and yoghurt breakfast bought at the roadhouse.
Minimal wind but a continuous series of hills had us working hard with our heavy, water filled trailers in tow.

Roadside shrubs are beginning to flower adding more colour to the way sides.
Spotted another convoy of caterpillars crossing the road, nose to tail. Two seconds after photographing them, the convoy was decimated by a passing caravan. Those not squashed were blown high into the air by the vehicle's draft.

Flies are getting more numerous and progressively more of a nuisance the further south we travel.
Thick, bushy landscape now. No sign of animals.
Decided to begin looking for a suitable camp spot at 70kms.
Murphy's Law - That was when all the thick bush disappeared leaving low lying scrub. 7kms later, with no success, decided to take pot luck and tramped into the scrub anyway. Found a straggly bush for cover and, after Del had removed grass clumps and rubbish, we set up camp.
It's 5.15pm and time to prepare our meal before the sun goes down.
And the flies have disappeared at last!
Completed 6,000kms today! Yay!
