ell today dawned as a much better day, with no rain in sign. I have decided that while the Hay Plains rates up there with the boaring rides, it is definitely a must do for those who like to tour on a motorcyle. Just amazing. I calculated that the trucks were coming into view 10 km before we passed them. Just amazing. Made it into South Australia just after lunch, and while the quarantine guys believed me that I was not carrying fruit, the insisted on checking the traler so Kerry was held up for a while.
Now siting back having enjoyed bbq dinner and some of the local brew. I think I could get use to Coopers Beer.
I quite like the Hay Plain - such a savage, 'alien' landscape - and yeah, you really can see forever. Coming back from Mildura last year there were some scary moments in torrential rain - what I could see of the landscape looked like little islands of saltbush floating in a vast sea - and as for the sky - storms were marching around up there like big iron-grey predators. Scary but beautiful!
