Day 18 Jan 4 2009

Mike rode 72kms from Ceduna to Penong today in just under 3 hours. It was perfect riding weather early this morning. Just as well he rode early as the afternoon was pretty hot. We all went to the beach this afternoon, long drive down a dirt road to get there & had to drive through a salt lake on one side of us & on the other side was what I think was some sort of mineral lake which was pink. It looked like a giant strawberry milkshake. Very pretty. I will have to investigate to find out what it actually is. Maybe someone reading this knows what it is? We have to thank Jill from the Penong caravan park for putting us up in a very comfortable cabin for the night. We would highly recommend the place to anyone travelling through. I have never been across this part of Australia before & I have to say, I am really enjoying looking around & seeing what is probably more of the real Australia. Tomorrow will be a test though - we have no where to stay (well there isn't anywhere) so we will be camping out!!! For those who know me, they won't believe it. This could be a real growth experience for me. It also means that I won't be able to update this web site for a couple of days, & yes, I know - sometimes I don't update for a couple of days anyway.

Signing off for tonight, will update when we can get internet connection again.

Cheers everyone,

Julie.
