Running closer to the sea, near the “town” of Eucla on a beautiful day… with no rain!

Finally… a dry day!

It was all blue skies and sunshine this morning as we left for the last time the Mundrabilla roadhouse. It was quite cold too! The road was still wet from the overnight rain. I elected to run by the roadside for the first half of the run. The trail was too muddy from the rain and the road, really, was not that busy, with a wide shoulder to run on.

In the wilderness again!

At km20 I found the van and went in for a quick rest. There I met James who had been on his bike and told me the trail was in quite good condition and that I should switch. Which I was happy to do once again. Running on the trail is so peaceful. I spotted some paw prints of dingoes and wombats – but did not get to spot any of them. They must be hiding and observing me I am guessing, it’s impossible that I have not crossed their paths over so many kilometres in the wilderness.

Ocean view from our motel room in Eucla – what a treat!

I finished the run about 15km out of Eucla. Eucla is the first “town” I meet since leaving Norseman about 700 km ago! It’s notable that it is the first place where I have 4G reception on my phone too. And as a treat, following so many nights in the campervan, we are staying at the Eucla Motel. Quite a treat, a proper room and bathroom and the cherry on the cake, ocean view! Tomorrow I run and then I will be on a rest day – seriously intend to see some of the whales that are currently on their migration journey across the Australian Bight!
