The Outback III

In the morning we packed everything and moved on to our next campsite at Rowles lagoon. On the way there we stopped at the top of the hill near the Jaurdi's homestead to check the net and inform that everything was fine with us. Then was easy going until Wallaroo Rock where we stopped for lunch and I tried to find a solution to mount GPS back on the bike. 
From there John and Steph took the easier route while Neal and me rode the shortest path to the Credo homestead. The track didn't seamed to have been used lately and was quite easy to ride at the beginning even if quite narrow, but later we started to hit sand and the longest strait didn't reach 50m, quite challenging and exhausting, changing direction all the time and it went like that for the next 20km , you can't imagine how happy I was when we finally had a long straight in front of us. During all that stretch I was thinking about the reasons that led someone to build it like that and if alcohol was part of the motive :D because there are no trees around you'd need to avoid.
After another 20 km ridding up and down, we got to the first crossing, where one of the tracks seems to go almost straight to Credo and that was the one I chosen, it is a narrow track full of washouts, hard mud and again... sand.
It all went well until we got this tree on the way.
 Shortly after got in this uneven deep sand washed from somewhere further up, with holes over a meter deep and big enough to hide the bike in there.  
No further difficulties until Credo where we where friendly welcomed and offered tee and cake by the current care taker. We waited there until the storm that was coming in our way passed by.
Rowles lagoon where we settle for the night is only a couple of kms away.
