Kununurra to Fitzroy Crossing

The Boab tree, my favourite!
Stopped many times today to take photos, search for number plates & Micks helmet mounted video camera. We were last in today,it was dark but captured another beautiful sunset on the way!
The Kimberleys are breathtakingly beautiful, the roads are fanatstic, good surfaces and endless sweepers. Had more rain and a slippery incident to add to Dicko's entertainment.





Warmun Roadhouse (originally Turkey Creek) our first fuel for the day and a toasted sandwich.



With all the unseasonal rain we crossed a few swollen rivers, I found a rare wood fish, picture is at the end.




Accomodation in Fitzroy crossing, some salubrious, ours wasn't but we are getting used to that.





I need to stop wearing the hi-viz, they think that I am a Road worker and get accomodation that suits that.Actually apart from being a bit cramped it was OK.
Funny thing was that in the restaurant you couldn't wear rubber thongs, but dressy thongs were OK ( this is in Fitzroy Crossing not some flash restaurant )




Very scarce and endangered Wood Fish.

Day started with getting a new trailer tyre $155.00, do you think that they saw me coming. But it is what it is,after that we were behind all the bikes, but caught up with the Dukes of Ducatis, looking for Donnas number plate and rego label that had vibrated off.Couldn't find it so we kept going, nearly hit a Cow on the road, but all was good.
Got a Satellite phone call from Rachel, one of the other support crew to say that a rider was down with a suspected broken leg, so we put the foot down and arrived to help out and load the bike on the trailer, plus the film crew got some footage and interviewed the casualty, as suspected the Fibia and Tibia was in two pieces. Jack the Paramedic who is traveling with us stabilised the rider until the ambo arrived.
He will be airlifted to Darwin, but want's to rejoin the ride in one of the support vehicles,We will see what happens with that.with all the rain, the shoulders of the road are very soft, and all he did was go off on the dirt,sank down a bit and basically fell over.
Apart from that all riders arrived safely after 650kms.
