Had a nice sleep in in Broken Hill and then packed up the Postie and headed off.

This turned out to be my biggest days ride of the whole trip - Wilcania was 198kms out of Broken Hill, but there was nothing there to interest me other than a patrol station and a fill up with junk food.

Cobar was another 260kms away, but I decided to go for it - after all I now had the luxury of a headlight! :)

And remember - at 55kph a total of 460km for the day meant about 8 1/2 hours in the saddle - and add to that stops for water, fuel, food etc and thats a long day for me and the little Postie.

Long and uneventful!!

Got into Cobar well after dark and hunted around for somewhere to stay with not much luck - end up in the busshes on the side of the road at about 11:00pm, but because I was so shattered from a big days ride I slept like a log!
