Renner Springs – Elliott

The ride to Elliott is 92kms. There was a slight tail wind to help Peter along.
The temperature today was 10C this morning up to 27C in the afternoon.

Today’s highlight is the appearance of some greenery along the roadside.
Up until now the landscape has been very brown with minimal vegetation.
The greenery is both uplifting for the spirit, and also a buffer for the wind if it comes up.
Another interesting feature along the roadside are huge (dirt) termite mounds.

On arriving in Elliott, Peter found the accommodation very disappointing.
It’s the only motel he has ever stayed in, where he has washed all the linen before he slept in it. When we planned the trip, I had recommended a Bush Camp as a better alternative!
Now 743kms to go!
