Wednesday 16th July 2008
They finished the Tanami Track yesterday and are currently in Halls Creek.
The last 200k’s was extremely bumpy, dusty and sandy.
Below is a summary of the last few days!
Day 4 on the Tanami –Halls Creek to Fitzroy Crossing
Start of Canning Stock rout, last fuel stop.
The boys had a fantastic last 100k, Simon thought he was Steve McQueen coming through the track.
They awoke in this morning to find Gary's bike had been pinched, there were a few signs left form the thieves.
Gary was about to call the police…. God dam it, I’ve got no insurance, says Gary!
Then suddenly the bike was found at the back of motel covered by a dooner.
The funniest thing about the prank was that Gary wondered around with a coffee in his hand not even realising that his bike was missing. All along, Charlie insisted it was an inside job.
They found that there is another mystery snorer; the snoring is getting so bad the Tanami is shaking.
The headed off to the Bungles Bungles in the Purnululu National Park then to Fitzroy Crossing.
Tomorrow they will be in Broom and are all feeling very knackered.
Day 3 on the Tanami – Rabbit Flat to Halls Creek
They left Rabbit Flat and headed to Halls Creek ….the fun and games started.
Simon wasn't up for any of it as he was feeling the pain today.
Gary lost his bike panya and camera as it smashed off from all the bumps on the Tanami track.
Team Nissan Captain Charles broke the 4 wheel drive door hinge and got a flat tyre while trying to take the vehicle to en elevated site for a scenic shot.
Simon lost his radio.
Something strange happened with kangaroo.
Charles is going to audition for Australia Idol as the boys think he has the best voice….. with a cough in between tunes.
They stopped in an aborigiana community in Bunna and met some local children. The children jumped on the bikes and took photos. There were lots of dogs, the boys found it to be a very interesting community.
They finally get to Wolf Creek crater, the boys kicked Simon out of the camp site due to his snoring, Simon was feeling ostracised from the group.
Astrologer David Young promised they would see the space station coming across so they all trekked up to the cater with matches to lead the way, they sat there for hours but ….no space station.
Charlie got in trouble for pinching wood form the national park from the ranger, but they now are best friends.
They cooked a roast lamb on the camp oven with pumpkin and carrots. No one could taste the food as they all had too much plonk.
Day 2 on the Tanami - Yuendumu to Rabbit Flat
They road 420km from Yuendumu to Rabbit Flat, arrived just before dusk to set up camp, it was a long hard ride today.
Saturday 12th July 2008
They set out from Alice Springs on Saturday on route to and headed to Tilmouth Well (An oasis along the Tanami Highway) where they camped for the first night.
That evening the met a group of lady volunteers and had a sing along.
