End of our 6th week on the road; it doesn't seem that long ago that we left home
Greg was up well before light this morning to ride into the Convention Centre to help farewell a crazy cyclist, Rupert Guinness, cycling from Darwin to Hobart over the next 12-14 days; that's a crazy 350-400 km/day!!! Not even Greg would try that! Greg got to meet 'The Voice of Cycling in Australia' - Mike Tomalaris from SBS who is following Rupert with a film crew for SBS. If you watch the start, you might see Greg in the background. Greg really enjoyed the morning.
After our COVID-19 jabs yesterday, we were both feeling a tad picqued, but not sure if that is totally from the vaccine or a combination of the vaccine and the increase in humidity. Probably the latter, although Greg did have a bit of a temperature this afternoon.
Whilst Wendy did a couple of hours work, Greg took a walk up to Hardly Normal to buy a new electric razor as the one he bought in Batemans Bay 2017 decided it did not want to play anymore. After a light lunch (it is far too warm to eat anyting other than light), we both had an LLD which was interrupted by those pesky RAAF fast jets.
An afternoon of doing not much for Greg, but Wendy completed the washing cycle, and cleaned the van. She wanted to get rid of all the accumulated calcium and lime on all the metal bits of the van from the large varieties of water used over the past six weeks, and she actually succeeded.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a more energetic day.

Where we are staying
One of those really fast, noisy RAAF fast jets, F-35A Lightning II, valued at approx $236M each, Australia will eventually have 72, we currently have about 22
Turn up the volume, you can hear them long after they have disappeared from view
