Day 12 Birdsville

The scene was set an early start on the last leg to birdsville, 270km of dirt a crisp morning; we prepared the bikes set tire pressure and suspension and set off, 40km down the road Chris noticed his oil plug missing, he had left it off after doing an oil change this morning. He had lost over a litre but had just enough to continue, he fashioned a plug from an old bar stop and continued. The track was not as bad as we thought although some bikers found it too much and returned 60km in. We made it, a few close calls but unscathed.
The $5 shower in town worked a treat to revive us as we kicked back with a few beers and one of Matt and Sams magnificent camp oven roast, a fitting end to a hard day.
