Somewhere on the Anne Beadell - July 8 - Day 2 on track.

STATS:
Distance covered: 71.3km.

After cool temperatures overnight (thermals are just the BEST invention ever) we woke to a beautiful sunrise. This pic shows the water frozen in its bottle.

We are on the way to Emu, the alumunium plaque, is a replica of those made by Len Beadell (who led the Gunbarell crew who built the road) he stamped out longitude and latitude etc, and there are many along the route we travelled. This one marks Tallaringa Well and obviously points us in the direction of Emu.

Here lies the Tallaringa Well.

an amazing spiral seed pod.

One of the very many fabulous flowers we saw.

and again.
This is one fo the many different varieties of Eremophila we saw.
One of the bugs along the way.

Steve, Sarah and Reve. Sarah was very disciplined and penned a diary each night.

The boys playing with GPS toys, while Col wrote his diary/letter to Mary - Col was also very disciplined in writing his diary/letter which he posted home to Mary where possible.
Another great invention is the HEAD TORCH! One should never leave home without one.
Today was a good day, the shock hung in over many more corrugations. Had a nice campsite, with a magnificent dinner winner for tea.
