In the rush of getting both of our bikes onto brians truck one of the bungee cords had got caught on a wheel and frayed, as well as loosing another that left us bungeeless! bodged a granny knot for the tent which lasted to the next petrol station down the road. Very friendly local adam helped us out with cord and chatted to us for a bit about the area & the way in which esso (booooo hissssssss) had treated him and other local station owners.
Carried on until got pretty tired and we pulled up to a nice house and asked to spend the night in their garden! Very unfriendly welcome by their dog frank before Kim showed us around and gave us a few packs of noodles! Two of her three kids hung around us for a bit, one (4 yrs old) very very very chatty - wore a little thin after an hour!
