Laura to Hann River Roadhouse

Monday 9th September 2013
Just outside Laura the bitumen ends, and it's going to be dirt road from now on until the end of the ride. And there's 200km until the next town, Coen:


Fortunately there are roadhouses on the way where I'll be able to obtain food and water. Today's ride was a straight run through to the next roadhouuse at Hann River, which I reached around 1.30pm, in time for lunch which was a big tasty burger.
The Hann River Roadhouse has a resident emu, and a parrot which kept trying to eat my handlebar grips:



There was a map mural showing that there was still a long way to go to The Tip:


I took a walk along the river but didn't see any crocs, though they were said to inhabit the area:



Distance today 78kms, total 509kms.
