Got past the Ngumban Cliffs that we camped at all alone in 2002. The English man i was riding with on that section set off at night to beat the heat but got serious fright when snake got caught in his front wheel as he was freewheeling down the gap in the cliffs! No snakes this time but a new two stand electric car fast chargerPowered by looks like 100kW PV array with battery and diesel backup.
When in 2002 we four cyclists were the only people for miles, this night there were around a dozen caravans at the Cliffs lookout.
Road pretty busy with caravans and empty stock trucks going both ways.
Nerve in foot getting sore late in the afternoons, Otherwise just a day in the saddle grinding out the km.
