I love riding the old girl...
Home again, finally; over three weeks on the road. Probably more details later, but for now: highlights.
* Doing surprisingly well at the Woodford Slam Poetry heats. Contrary to expectations of getting chased off the stage, people clapped and cheered. Huge fun.
* Desert stars. Of course.
* Mechanical adventures: having to tow the Beemer into the Barkly Homestead behind plush_maggot's 250 (thanks to a loose wire on the ignition coil) and getting her valves sorted at a genuine underground garage in Coober Pedy (Vince is a god). And plush_maggot is doing the last leg today, owing to being held up for a day in Dubbo waiting for a new chain, set of sprockets and rear tyre to replace the comprehensively buggered ones he had yesterday.
* Cute British backpackers at Radeka's in Coober Pedy.
* Saltpans.
* The Breakaways.
* Mutitjulu, as always.
