Day 13
Tuesday 26th Feb
Iron Knob to Kimba
92.25km
In the morning we made sure everything was ready and charged to hit the road. There wasn’t much in the way of towns, and we were going to camp most of the way to Ceduna, so we did some preparation before leaving. Before we left Brian and Michelle headed off in the car to Whyalla to buy some things so we said goodbye.
We didn’t really have any food with us so went looking around Iron Knob to buy something for breaky. Turns out it really is a ghost town and there is no where you can buy any food. Some blokes from the local bowls club called out to us so we went and said g’day. A town with no where to eat, but still a Bowls club with 20 members, and these blokes just happened to be there trimming the lawn before the big day on Saturday. A guy called Graham explained that theres nothing to eat, so he kindly went home and picked up some tins of spaghetti for us to eat. We hung out there for a little bit and had a chat, and some spaghetti and then hit the road.
There’s not much between Kimba and Iron Knob apart from bush, and a big freeway. So we stopped for some sangas on the side of the road for lunch, and cycled straight through to Kimba.
Graham from the bowls club told us we had to check out the local pub in Kimba, so we went there for a beer, and then headed to a rest stop to set up camp. Some more rice for dinner, a good look at the map to plan our next few days and then some more sleep to attend to.
