When the weather is as perfect as it was today, even a non-varying landscape provides for a nice run. It was basically one long straight road for 50 km. Tomorrow I should make it to the beginning of the longest straight stretch of road in Australia, and the second longest in the world – 146 km without a bend or kink.

I was passed today by two girls who are cycling east. In a few more days, I should pass Shane Crawford heading the other way. It’s a real treat to see others on the road, and relieves the monotony somewhat.

I’d like to finish with a big thank you to the company, Commercial Eyes, who have provided the biggest donation to Oxfam of the whole world run so far – $6,000. What a great gesture, and one that is deeply appreciated.
