Hello sheepies (Between Biggenden and Woolooga - 20/11/2009)

Get the corners!! (Between Biggenden and Woolooga QLD - 20/11/2009)

Ready to go (Eidsvold QLD - 20/11/2009)

In this caravan park, the caretaker is coming on his little moped sometimes
in the evening or in the morning to check the new arrivals .

Pic-nic next to the tourist information (Monto QLD - 19/11/2009)

Lonely Potato Tree (Banana shire QLD - 19/11/2009)

Second stormy night (Moura QLD - 19/11/2009)

Yesterday, we had one record as we rode for 398km in the day!
We arrived before the storm and could settle down quietly at a free rest
area. Nice people were around, so we were not scared to sleep (I think the
main reason was that we were very exhausted).
The storm started at the beginning of the night, luckily not above us but
around, and we could enjoy a nice light and sound show in the sky.

Threatening clouds (Rolleston QLD - 18/11/2009)

We have to hurry before they get darker!!!

Lunch break after the apocalypse (Springsure QLD - 18/11/2009)

Support of a Potato Tree (Capella QLD- 18/11/2009)

What happened? (Clermont 18/11/2009)

Just a fake piano in the tree as a reminder of a big flood in the past.

Still alive!! (Clermont QLD - 18/11/2009)

The clouds you could see on the previous pictures became blacker and blacker
and they were unlighted by very unfriendly thunderstorms (sorry, no
pictures, the situation was way too scary: Diana was screaming in her helmet
and my heart my beating like crazy). Luckily, we had only a short hard
shower, we dried up straight after and the storms were on the sides of the
road. We arrived at the caravan park and it was fully booked, we could only
pay for a tent site... We just had the time to set the tent and the storm
came above us, we closed yourselves in the laundry to wait the end of these
huge explosions. The rest of the night was warm and quiet. The late stormy
weather is all around in the region, we got up early this morning to avoid
it!

Fortunately, we are listening some music! (on the A7 after Belyando - 17/11/2009)

But there are bad clouds showing in the landscape...

16h, the truck arrived at last!!! (Belyando Crossing - 17/11/2009)

GO riders!!

14h - still no petrol... (Belyando Crossing QLD - 17/11/2009)

The morning are very long in Australia...

10h, Ready to go, but no petrol.... (Belyando Crossing QLD - 17/11/2009)

Don't worry, they said, the truck is coming this morning.

Alone Again (Belyando Crossing - 17/11/2009)

We finally arrived late and set the tent in the night.
We were exhausted and had a good night sleep all alone again.

Welcoming friend (Belyando Crossing 16/11/2009)

No, she did not kill him, he is still alive!!

The sun sets on our late ride (on the A7 before Belyando Crossing - 16/11/2007)

We left Charters Towers at 15h30 and we were on the road till 19h: we had to
watch out for Kangaroos!! We met some (alive) and, fortunately, they did not
go under our wheels.

RoadWorks again and again (on the 63 after Bluewater Springs Roadhouse QLD - 16/11/2009)

Alone in the Savannah (Bluewater Springs Roadhouse QLD - 15/11/2009)

The Great Inland Way is very quiet, not a lot of cars.
The caravan parks on the way are the same, we were alone at this roadhouse!!
For 5 dollar the night for us both, this was not too bad, you can see the
private amenities: toilet and hot shower. No chainsaw tonight, just three
explosions (we guessed the owner was burning the trashes and people have
thrown deodorant tin)...

Clear the way for trucks (on the 63 after Oasis Roadhouse QLD - 15/11/2009)

On the way, we mainly meet Road Train (huge trucks): here is one parked in
front of the roadhouse.
