Buon giorno from Broken Hill,

I departed Arkaroola this morning round 7:30, heading south some 300km to the Barrier Highway at Yunta, via gravel roads. The road was mostly in good condition, but with patches of a low frequency corrugation that I’ve not encountered before; the crests were a couple of feet apart, and the amplitude was small, so they weren’t a problem. I had a coffee break ’round 9, and on reaching Yunta at 11, I replenished my provisions, having another coffee break there, then turned east, following the Barrier Highway. I crossed over into New South Wales at 12:55, and had a lateish lunch shortly after at a roadside rest area.

Apart from missing hitting a pair of emus by about a car’s length, as they darted across the road, there’s not much to report today.

I was in my motel room by 2:00, after travelling 507km. Here’s my route on Google Maps:

Cheers,
Julian
