Spoke to Joe this morning and he now has a wheel and will start riding to Karratha.
I am 3 - 4 days away from Nanutarra Roadhouse and 5 - 6 days away from Exmouth the next major town. For family reasons I wanted to be more accessible, closer to phone reception and closer to the bus service so I decided to catch the bus to Exmouth. Went to the visitor centre and the bus was coming through Tom Price on Monday, 5 days away or I could catch tomorrow's bus from Auski 2 days ride away. Yeah, that's gonna happen.
Had a chat to a backpacker Cornelia, charging her computer at the visitor centre and she and her boyfriend Steve offered to take me with them as they were heading to Exmouth too. What a great offer.
So loaded my bike in the back of the van and headed off.
Had a great trip chatting to Steve and Cornelia for hours and the kilometres flew by. We stopped at Nanutarra Roadhouse for lunch.
I saw some fat tyre touring bikes at the roadhouse and had a chat to Dave was riding with his wife and had been riding all over the place from Perth for 4 months and was now heading off to Broome.
We set off again and drove until about 4:00 pm when we stopped at Barradale rest area, one of the best rest areas I've been in.
We pooled our food and had a great meal of miso soup followed by Asian inspired cous cous with red and green pepper and tuna. All washed down with a cheeky little Sauvignon Blanc that Cornelia found somewhere. A super night out under the stars.
