Heading towards Norseman! Bush Camp 1 to Bush Camp 2 - 53kms

It was cold last night with a cloudless sky dripping with stars. Both of us woke early, around 4.30am.
We had our Weetbix and coffee (both with condensed milk), packed up camp and headed off hoping to cover 60kms today.
We stopped at Widgiemooltha Roadhouse for a toasted sandwhich and coffee and basic stores. No emergency food there so we bought 2 ham and cheese rolls for our dinner!

We seem to have lost the Golden Pipeline and gained a railway line which we followed and crossed several times today.
Signs re mine sites were frequent and road trains roared past entering and exiting the bush.

I became quite weary and had to take recovery breaks which meant that we didn't achieve our 60kms goal.
At our camp site, we discovered the reason why. My front tyre was flat!!! 
That pesky piece of wire, that my tyre picked up and that we thought had done no damage, was the culprit!
Del to the rescue again!

Tomorrow we cycle to Norseman - and a bed, I hope!

    Hello Del and Cindy, I do so much enjoy checking in every few days to share in your adventures. Hoping that the 'westerly' picks up nice and strong for you both. 🚲

    That is just so me, Del! A clever wheeze, a well thought-out idea, necessity and invention and extemporising and…. It masked a lack of air. You have my sympathy and disappointment. And the wheels on the ’bus go round and round…

Discovering Whyalla! Whyalla's Hummock Hill.

Image
I completed our NZ Passenger Declaration forms this morning. Then we climbed Hummock Hill, just behind the motel, to admire the views of Whyalla. This impressive sculpture of a scuba diver is just outside our motel. Below, views from Hummock Hill. Whyalla's unique, circular jetty. The foreshore is quite shallow. The sand beneath makes the sea appear pale blue in comparison to the dark blue of the deeper water. Whyalla has a busy steel mill. Steel and iron ore from the Iron Knob mines is barged out to awaiting ships. During WW2, the area was protected by a large, manned artillery gun. Behind the motel is a tranquil park with an aviary and the biggest tree I've ever seen! I forgot to mention that, on the way back, we detoured into Whyalla's main street and shouted ourselves to a lovely coffee and cheesecake!  Old habits die hard!

Time to be Realistic!

Well folks, we've been reviewing our plans! What an experience this has been! We've cycled over 2000kms, crossed 2 time zones and have survived some very challenging conditions. We're just not doing the daily mileage that we expected to do - hills, head winds, trailer weight and age being the main factors. This has meant more bush camps (over 25 so far) which in turn has meant carrying more heavy water supplies and food, which most certainly contributed to Del's broken spokes. With the hills of the Flinders Ranges, Broken Hill terrain and crossing the Great Dividing Range (some 1740kms), we realise that, at our age and with Del's bike problems, it is a challenge that would be lengthy, gruelling, potentially dangerous and probably beyond our ability. (We've cycled Coffs Harbour to Coolangatta on a previous trip.) We have decided to continue to Iron Knob then turn south to Whyalla, a major town with an airport. From there, we'll prepare to fly to Adelaide, the...
