Rode out of Alice with a lucky and rare tailwind. The path was climbing but really more of inclines, easily managed.
The country is spectacular with coloured hills and ranges. A few sharp rises close to Stuarts Well brought me to a spacious roadhouse with restaurant, pool, and some emus and a red kangaroo enclosed. Over this enclosure hawks and ravens were fighting over the vegetable scraps for the emus, while some punk rocker pigeons snuck a few pellets of grain while the red kangaroo was not looking.
There I met Kazu, a student mechanical engineer who works for Honda in Japan, who was riding fixed gear from Darwin to Adelaide on a sleek chromoly frame with custom bottle racks made by one of his teachers. We had a quick and friendly chat and laugh, especially about our common preference for single speed, before he rode on for another 50kms for the day.
