Elliott – The Highway Inn at Daly Waters
Today was a long ride – 146 kms. Prayers for a tail wind were answered! So, with tail winds available, Peter was up at ‘crack of dawn’ and off up the highway. After the first 50km he had a half hour break, and then another break at Dunmarra (a Service Station at the 102km mark).

After his usual diet of dried fruit and nuts, and a small tin of tuna, Peter was pretty keen for a large steak when he reached the Highway Inn. I thought it was funny that he kept referring to the ‘Highway Inn’ as the ‘Holiday Inn’ when we were talking.
The Highway Inn is a great tourist set up/ rest stop on the Highway. The original township of Daly Waters is about 7kms off the highway. The photos, taken on our planning trip in April give you some idea of its current state!!
