Back to the hotel to discover we were now locked out. Fortunately there was a cleaner mopping the bar who let is back in and we were able to access our bikes. We were back in the saddle only marginally later than normal.
Hey, not far to Cairns now!!!
A local shopkeeper warned us to lock up our bikes in the CBD. Not sure who would steal 2 fully loaded touring bikes (35+ kg each). I hope they have a ute! We bought groceries and rolls for lunch and dinner at the supermarket.
We had lunch in a park in the CBD. Lovely lush tropical vegetation. Felt a bit odd with the very cool weather.
Back on the highway we headed for Bluewater Creek rest stop with a quick stop at a roadside "fisho" for some mackeral fillets. The rest stop was very well populated before we arrived with up to 30 camper-vans and caravans. Many of the residents appeared to have been there for many days despite it being restricted to 24 hours only.
Excellent fish and vegie curry for dinner followed by an early night.
