Day 45 13th August Wudinna to Kimba

The shorter days are often the more difficult.  I think it is mostly all in the mind.  Thinking it will be easy, because of the short distance, leads to a fault expectation.  Today, though not overly taxing in terrain or wind, seemed to be harder than many of the much longer days.  Never-the-less we made it into Kimba in good time and were able to spend some much needed down time around a cup of coffee.


 

Kimba (for better or worse) is the home of the 'Big Galah'.  It is in the middle of the farming country on the Eire Peninsular.   Farmers around here are feeling positive for a good year.  Things are definitely looking good at the moment.

It was in Kimba the Robyn celebrated a significant birthday when we rode through here four years ago. (Though this year we are a couple of weeks earlier).  Happy memories.

Found a good way to get nice photo's.  Give the camera to the children and let them take candid snaps.  Seems too work well.

Toays team name was ' Hakuna Matata'  due to travelling to Kimba (Lion King the movie).  Jim, our 'beep beep' roadie couldn't say it.  So from Jim came all sorts of words including Comatose, Comancheros darda dar dar.  Finally found something Jim can not do. 
 
All is still going well.  Would love to be with Jo and Ruth and missing Robyn.  Better news about Ruth today though the out look is still serious and we would appreciate your prayers for little Ruth and her mum and dad.
 
Longer day tomorrow so it should be OK.  It's all mind game really.
