It was a peaceful night and the first time I've slept under a bridge.

This grevillea stood out with bright yellow flowers.

The terrain was still undulating and I had a tailwind making the ride pleasant.

I arrived at the roadhouse and had lunch and set up my tent.

Then 2 other cycle tourists arrived. One of their bikes is electric.

Last May, I was at Pinnarendi Station, about 5,000kms from where I am now. An unknown person had left some food items for me on the roadside. See here.

The day I left Pinnarendi Station, I had heard there were 2 cyclists arriving that same night.

Because someone had done me a good deed, I paid for the cyclists dinner before I left that morning. Trying to pass on some good karma.

Those 2 cyclists turned out to be Bruce and Bob. What an amazing coincidence to run into them on the other side of the country a year later!

They are riding from Lake Macquarie to Perth.

They are nice guys and bought me dinner and wine.

It was a happy afternoon and evening. They had also ridden with Josè for a week.

Today's ride: 62 km (39 miles)
Total: 2,882 km (1,790 miles)

Vince McCarthyBob carried a spare battery. His bike weighed 30kgs with one battery without all his bags.

His motor wasn't ideal as he couldn't free wheel going down a hill.
