Distance 30km
A bit of a miserable day. It rained most of the night. The tent stayed mostly dry but I do have to waterproof the floor a bit more. I went into the camp kitchen and very, very slowly got organised. I was hoping the weather would moderate. My the time I had breakfast and packed it was 11am when I left.
I followed the Mawson trail out of Burra in light drizzle , but I should have skipped it and taken the highway. I was mostly pushing my bike through mud. A few km out of Burra it rained hard with strong wind, I could barely see where I was going. I continued following the Mawson for about 10km, and then detoured south to Farrell Flat. I joined up with the Barrier Highway, and then turned onto the Farrell Flat Road, which had a bit of traffic on it. I then arrived at the Farrell Flat camping area around 3pm and holed up in the covered BBQ area (with power!) , to keep out of the occasional rain.
