Headwind. But also good road surface. We left early today and cycled down the Oodnadatta track. I have never seen it so green. From little rises, the landscape looks like endless fields of grass with cows grazing. From close-up it is prickly thin grasses blowing in the wind. The desert in bloom.
The Oodnadatta Track
When there is no wind there are zillions of flies. We had lunch out of the wind behind a little shed next to a communications tower. The flies were extremely friendly, and also glad to be out of the wind.
Lunch stop
We are camping in a dry creek-bed. A lovely spot with lots of wood for a lovely fire. Tomorrow Oodnadatta.
