Bush, the Bourke to Cunnamulla day was the longest in the trip - about 11 hours pedalling, with stops at the pubs at Engonia and Barringun. Left Bourke at dawn, and arrived in the dark in Cunnamulla, with quite a sore tail. And fortunately a slight tail wind.

Cerros, if you do go to Lightning Ridge, let me know. I might contact one or two of the locals, who could show you around their places (Stations/ranches)and introduce you to a few dusty old miners. Some great characters out there with funny & tall yarns to tell a couple of spirited women.
Where are you from?
