Another clear and cool morning greeted the Gulf2Gulf team as we aimed at a 7am departure.
Our route out of Angorachina took us via Parachilna (our dinner venue from last night). The track was really rough in places and we were glad to hit the sealed road again after 17 km. Harry blew a tyre on his 4wd on the same stretch later in the morning. But while the going was rough, we had a whale of a time on a few water crossings. We know we keep promising photos, but we're a little hamstrung at the moment with www access & bandwidth. (Stop Press: We have added some photos, no video yet).
We had a double dose of lattes, cappuccino, and flat whites at the pub, and then headed on for a blissful 35 odd kms of flat & sealed highway into Beltana. With the daily distance today only being 55kms, we were in by just before 11 am.
With Ric running off ahead, the rest of the boys piled into the troopie for the 11 km trip out to old Beltana. The rerouting of the highway and railway in the early 1980s now mean that there are two towns. A bite to eat in the old town and a wander around the sites, before we returned to our night location - the Beltana horse racing track!
