Black Jacks Hut to Burra

Distance 32km

It was a cold night, even inside the hut. All thermals worn. John got going early because he was trying to get to Clare, while I only wanted to get to Burra. I was pretty low on food, basically only had barley left.

I tried to my rear wheel trued. The tyre was intermittently rubbing the frame. My constant spoke replacement makes the wheel slightly more wonky despite my attempts to get it true.

I got going a couple more climbs, until eventually I could see the wind generators above Hallett, and could see the highway to Burra. Down the hill I went and made Burra around 1pm. First stop was the takeaway for a Chicken Burger and chips. I was starving. Then I went to the Post Office to collect my food parcel that my Mum had posted to me. Then off to the Caravan Park for a campsite. Bad weather is coming in again, and I was thinking of staying two nights in Burra. However I think I will stay one night and get out during the day tomorrow when the weather is meant to be better to get to Farrell Flat.
