Today was similar to yesterday. Morning plunge, midday read then an afternoon plunge. Cleaned some of my gear, bike and general maintenance.
I h
ad a few friends pass through the camp this morning, a couple of liar birds – I just caught it with the camera as it was entering another camp.. This afternoon a number of wallabies graced me with their presence. Really cool.
Anyway, the knee really has responded to the rest and the water. It still is a little stiff and restricted but far better than when I arrived here on Saturday.
The Mataranka Homestead where I have been based is the site of the original homestead that figured in the book, and subsequently the movie “We of the Never, Never”. The replica of the homestead that was used in the movie has been located here and is open for public viewing. 
The movie can be run (only if you request the staff to do so as they have seen it so often) in the bar area – I have seen a number of scenes but not the whole movie. Just another interesting facet of this place.
The picture of the pools were inviting. Maybe I'll go there one day for a swim and repair. Who knows

ReplyDeleteJohn I so wish I could have been there to ride with you in spite of my 50km rule . i know you have lived and breathed Optimus so here is a story about Ron (Burgundy my bike)
so i am finally getting a top box and not just a cheap bag on a bag rack i am getting the original colour matched Honda Top box .i was getting quotes of 800 to 900 and 1-2 month wait ,plus mounting plates of $400 -500 and my financial controller was about to say no ... then i had one of my mates call back from Penrith telling me that he has some in stock and will sell to me at cost so total package about $800 .... i was as happy as the day i got married lol.
anyway so how are the nerves anything in the back of the mind telling you to be overly cautious because i was on the m7 the other day and for the first time in a long time if not ever i got really nervous , it was the windiest day in Sydney for a long time but i have ridden in worse so i dont really know why ..
anyway got to go back to work now pretend to yell at the sales reps
talk soon
Hey there Teflon,
ReplyDeleteI finally got around to catching up - I am jealous now I'm back at work. Glad you and OP are ok and your on the mend - seems you might have forgotten the loose stuff rule buddy, remember - "arse back, look long". Thought we had that sorted after the Cape Bedford track!
So easy to say, yet hard to do!!! Hope you get lots more advice and keep on having good days for the rest of the trip.
