Into the West

Day: 1
Distance Traveled: 497kms (Haywards Bay to Narranderra via Wagga)
Weather: Cool/cold, fine and sunny but with large extended areas of fog
Today's Biggest Challenges: The cold!! Numb fingers and legs. Loooooots of 110 highway.
Highlights of today: The beautiful sunshiney start and afternoon, hot coffees, the delish dinner and beautiful campsite (Lake Talbot is a lovely place to relax); meeting Stuart's friends Robyn and Ross, and the general great fellowship. Great to be on the road again. :)
What I've learned from today: That highways are awful boring, very conducive to 'highway hypnosis' and that having a swap out ri-
der is a very good idea! Kristal was sick last night and couldn't ride today so Stuart and I were on the bikes the whole time. Was a great day but the fog around Yass was new to us and it was VERY cold compared to the rest of the day. We had to stop more than normal to compensate for the time it took to warm up again, however the fog was gone by the time we got to Wagga and the rest of the journey was much more bearable temperature wise. Definitely worth leaving early and arriving early like we did as heading west means that the sun is in our face by sunset, it gets quite cold, animals are more prolific and the time pressures aren't ideal.
Plans for tomorrow: Up early again and off to Mildura via Hay. Locals say good chance of
fog in the morning and very straight roads (might see some emus!). Weather forecast for Mildura: Partly cloudy, zero chance of rain, light winds, 3-17 degrees.
