Once again, we would have to make
the decision to backtrack, so with
little daylight left we decided to turn
around once again and hit plan C.
The plan was to head further west
to Mt Garnet where hopefully being
further inland we would find some
rivers that were crossable. Finally,
with no major roadblocks, we made
it into town, just before dark after
500kms of riding. We where we
pretty buggered and found a good
place to set up camp for the night.
The next day, after the patch job
on the air mattress seemed to have
worked, we were well rested and
ready to punch out the kilometres.
The black clouds of the wet season
were still lingering, we seemed to
be chasing them all day. We finally
caught up with the bad weather and
had to find some cover so pulled up
just before it started bucketing down.
Waiting for it to clear we relaxed
and had lunch. With only a couple
of hundred easy kilometres left for
