Richmond to Mt Isa

Postie Challenge went through the day before on the way to Darwin, lucky that it did otherwise Donna may have changed bikes and went on that.

Road Runner Road House and Coyote Motel, Is that Chicken little filling up her Bike.
I say I say Miss Prissy I think it is.

Road from Richmond to Cloncurry was flat and boring (read Tiring),however the trip on to Mt Isa was a lot better, with some different landscape to see.As soon as you come down the hill into Mt Isa the Mt Isa mine complex dominates the landscape.Lead zinc and copper are mined there.

Once again Qlds finest were out in force.

On to Tennant Creek tomorrow, a big day of about 660 Kilometres, with a
fuel stop about 135ks out of Camooweal, which will be serviced by the support crew, for those bikes that need it.

The biggest bonus is that the weather has been really mild so that makes it easy for the riders.

any way cheers from Rickety Split.
