Rolled into Camooweal at 8pm tonight after spending the last two nights taking catnaps here and there along the road.  Very sleep deprived, but happy to be on schedule and to have a needed replacement tyre fitted and a quick bike service from the very helpful people at Sportspower in Mt Isa.  I have now done 3985km in 13 days and have managed to just hang on to my 50-day schedule by the skin of my fingernails.  Lots of stories to tell but no time to write them down, unfortunately.  Looking forward to an easier week in prospect (the roadhouses are closer together) apart from the 378km haul to Cape Crawford the day after tomorrow.  Time for a much-needed shower and four hours sleep.  Goodnight!
