 |
| A little bit of off-road on the Hay Plain, rsult: 4 flat tyres (all Jacques'!) Un peu de VTT sur la Hay Plaine, resultat: 4 pneus creves (tous sur le velo de Jacques!) |
 |
| Strange fruits growing all over the place, no animals eat them though, must not be good to eat! Plein de petit fruits comme ceux-la poussent sur la Hay Plaine, mais les animaux ne les mangent pas, ils ne doivent pas etre bons! |
 |
| That pub burnt the week before we arrived, bad luck, it was the only place to get supply for 200km! Ce bar/hotel a brule la semaine precedent notre passage, pas de chance, c'etait le seul ravitaillement pour 200km! |

| Happy turttle when the storm comes. pleut il mouille, c'est la fete a la... tortue! |
  |
| Nasty storm on the Hay Plaine... no tree around: definetly not the best place to be when lightning strikes. Vilain orage sur la Hay Plaine... aucun arbre alentour: vraiment pas le meilleur endroit pour une ballade a velo quand l'eclair frappe. |

| When there is not much at ground level, nature puts on a show above our heads. S'il n'y a pas grand chose au niveau du sol, il y a souvent un beau spectacle juste au dessus... |

 |
| A few very wet days forced us to take a couple days off, here in Balranald, the "frog-city" where snails also like to be (no, Jacques did not eat that cute little guy)... Quelques jours tres humides nous ont forces a prendre quelques jours de break, comme ici a Balranald, la ville-grenouille, ou les escargots aussi s'en donne a coeur-joie...       |
Great photos folks! Keep peddling!!! Glad you are enjoying the trip. Sydney weather is terrible, except for yesterday and almost no wind for kiting -- so you aren't missing anything here!
