We left Balladonia at 7.00am and headed for the usual fuel stops which are all road houses that sell beer and all the other requirements of any truck driver.
The straight flat road continues as far as we can see and is very boring we start to look forward to a crest or a corner so we can discuss it across our bike to bike radios, this is where you really appreciate the music that we also have playing through the headsets, at least it breaks the trip up a bit.
The fuel is not badly priced here at around 161.2 a litre compared to the Northern Territory where we paid 180.5 at Barkly roadhouse, and were told if we didn't like it push the bike on to the next stop and see what they have to say.
There is an interesting point I will have to raise with some well travelled riders, this is why some roadtrains push you to the outside of the road when passing and some suck you in towards the wheels, then there are the ones that don't even make any wind what so ever???
We arrived at border village at about 2.30pm and the accommodation was unbelievably cramped, we shared the room,and when the single and double beds were set up we could not open the fridge door, like everyone we just made do with the rooms and moved on in the morning.
We ate at the roadhouse and found the meals were really good which was a bit of a surprise.
Total Klm's 11,410
