165km today, the odometer went past
 2000, so over 1000 in the last week, woo hoo. haven broken any spokes for about 200km witch is awsome, one is broken and I've been waiting for another to go to make pulling the  wheel off more worthwhile. if none go I'l do it at Coonabarabran  ( 55km or so). I'm next to a spectacular mountain range at the moment, spectacular cliffs.

Ive been seeing heaps of silos next to the railway lines, seriously impressive structures and it really hilights the impotence of rail in our transport system, sadly it seems to be increasingly taken over by trucks ( that constantly pass me out here)

fairly crap afternoon yesterday  cold wet and windy brief discussion with the cops, they'd had calls that Id been ' in the middle of the road' well middle of the lane as I was sick of fighting the camber to stay on the road and was pissed of about a flat caused by pulling off to the side. fair enough though it was a 110 section of road, I fought the shoulder from then on. at least I made good mileage and had a nice sunset at the end of the day.

 and to day I got to drop in to the parks radio telescope, it broadcast part of the first lunar landing and I beleave at least was the largest in the southern hemisphere.

1. crap weather  (headwinds,rain and no sun) and spokes breaking daily  but somehow being in an interesting town makes it posable to see the positives  I now have some really good replacement spokes, so the more spokes that break the fewer old ones are left in the wheel to break. breaking spokes are simperly an opotunity to slowy respoke my wheel. ( and Im becoming pretty quick with the whole procedure. and bad weather is just a chance to walk arond and check oult what the town has to offer. its all in the mentality. 

another shortish day, 147km, 38ah used 48 in, replaced 5 or so broken spokes and a dead tube ( torn at the valve) sort of a relief because it has an increasingly not so slow leak. it is always a pain in the ass getting the back wheel on and of as everything has to come with it. quote of the day, form a local pub from a little locality, if you cant laugh, your f***ed  a good life philosperpy

only 130 or so km today, 1 flat tire, 1 warped front wheel ( smashed into a pothole leaving the campsite this morining) and a new rear tire, the original one was vearry, slick. 44ah in 26 oult, a big net battery charge. finshed in just parst yarawanga, posably the last victorian camp for a wile.

second night parst melbourne, I only did 140ish today, going for battery charging rather than great progress. I'm 30km or so from shepperton camped under river gums.

this week Im at enviroment week at the brias, showing kids a difrent style of recycling and transport.
