Winton to rest area 90km ~

Rode out of Winton just after 8 in the morning to yet another tailwind most of the day. The vast, blank yellow grass (Mitchell Grass) appeared again unless a creek gave rise to some trees and shrubbery.

I noticed some exquisite orange triangular humps poking up out of the flatness. I came to the Diamantina River causeway (almost dry again). This river flows all the way to Lake Eyre.

Then more of those hills showed up spectacularly with the classic flat tops and diagonal sides with greenery on the upper levels and glowing orange below. Then a newly made rest area appeared (not on the map) with a charming lookout to all these ranges, including some yellow pyramidal hills too. The only very rare litter about was from the construction works and the place was totally clean.
