Note to cyclotourists: The High Darling Road is currently impassable by bicycle. The recent floods have done a number on the road surface. Wheel ruts, ankle deep bull dust, sand drifts stretching kilometers, and heavy corrugations make bicycle travel er, … ‘difficult’. 60km south of Pooncarie I had to dismount as conditions were so bad I could no longer pedal the surface on offer. Pushed the bike another 10km and the surface condition only worsened. Two options on the table. One, walk the remaining 50km to Pooncarie in 36c heat, into a headwind; or two, turn back and ride 75km to a beer and a swim in the river. The latter won.
Just had a look on google earth Benny, it’s a wide brown land out there.
Sandy brown land.. Did you check the sheep pic?
I didn’t stop at the sheep pic.
I did have a good look at the crocodile though.
