Day 5

Quite a short day today, only about 350km. I decided to stop at Alice Springs to see what all the fuss was about. On the way to Alice I crossed over the Tropic of Capricorn. I found the ‘Stuart’ camp site and booked in.

I checked over the bike and lubricated the chain, no problems anywhere. I then made the spare chain 2 links longer, just in case the other one breaks, which it could.

After putting up my tent I went into Alice and updated the blog site. Returned to site, had my pot noodle, had a few tins of beer, had a bag of peanuts, sent a few texts, then lights out.
