When visiting ‘The Rock’, visitors are now discouraged from climbing it for both safety and cultural reasons.

Peter is not turning left!!

Today was an easy 75 km ride, with a light north easterly winds blowing.

There was a lot of interesting traffic on the road today,

Erldunda - the owners of these bikes were travelling all around Australia

due to two big social events happening in the Northern Territory.

The first is ‘The Shannon’s Vintage Car and Bike Show’ on in Alice Springs and the second is the Darwin Show.

Many fantastic vintage bikes (Enfields) and wonderful cars of all descriptions are making their way up the highway,
some are carried on trailers, others are licensed for the road.

The show related traffic include the many and various Side Show Alley games and stalls and Amusement rides.

Tonight Peter is dining out! Two couples (from Australia Post) are travelling north and then on to WA in their caravans,
and they have invited Peter to join them for a home cooked meal in their van.
