Boulia to Windorah. Slow out of bed to be greeted by a cold and windy day. The ride to Bedourie is through wide open plains , much of it completely treeless. There were grasses and herbage this year and there must be lots of small animals because tens of kestrels soared effotlessly through the sky searching for their prey.
We had lunch at Bedourie. More giant country meals, of which one a day is normally more than enough. Left Bedourie rode south a few kilometres and swung onto the Diamentina development road. This was another mixed surface road.
As a motorcyclist you have days where the bike feels it goes better, the tyres have more grip and confidense is high. This was not one of those days for me.
The front end felt skittish, I was tired and fatigued. The front wheel washed away on loose gravel and I was up out of the seat in a big "tank slapper". Got control back and pulled over for a break.
We rode cautiously to Windorah and stayed in comfort at Cooper Cabins which has its own cafe and bar. Another big meal (didn't really need it after lunch) and off to bed,
(We mostly dont get past 8.00pm through tiredness and we definitely need a days break to recharge).
