Hey Eva I know what you mean I had to have a closer look to find it was the Canning Stock route. At first I though he might have been riding the Tanami Track in NT.

I got some emails from my friends in NSW telling me about the heat (I hate really hot days so they thought I would be pleased to be away from it all).

For any not so great at converting C to F and back (this would include me who still has to convert back to C to know what to wear) 44 is 111.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot Hot Hot.
