Docker River to Warrakurna (Giles) 98km

The first 5 or so kilometres were very sandy but as soon as I hit the border the road was magnificent, freshly graded probably, and with multiple smooth tracks.

An excellent tailwind made it easy riding all day. On the way, Colin and Robin in a bus stopped for a yarn and gave me a pair of sunglasses to replace the ones I had lost somewhere at Docker River. I got to Warrakurna Roadhouse mid-afternoon.

The roadhouse was great with an excellent camp kitchen (indoors) with tv and all cooking facilities. The chap at the roadhouse has the eccentricity that he ignores you when you say hello, but when he talks he is actually a very nice man.
