Hawker to South West of Gordon

Distance travelled 60km

Well I got an email telling me the spokes parcel was at the post office. I got to the PO too early, and had to wait until 9am for it to open. Then back to the Caravan park to fix some spokes. I really didn’t know what to do, so I changed about 6 random spokes, then packed up and was finally on the road at 12 noon. I had 110km to Quorn, and I knew it would take me 2 days. Also I have a food parcel waiting for me at the Quorn PO, so I have to get there by 4pm Thursday, after that they will be closed for Easter. 13km out of town I broke another spoke. So I stopped for lunch and also changed two more spokes. I then continued on to Craddock. Then the road turned east and was a really nice windy road. Hardly any cars. I eventually crossed and travelled along the main Hawker Quorn road, but only a few cars. Then back on the dirt. After 60km, and pending darkness at 6pm, I cleared a spot by the side of the road, and put up my tent. I haven’t seen any cars for an hour before I stopped, and I don’t expect any to go past tonight.

New spokes!
