There were groups of Brolga and emus everywhere, it was amazing. The roadway was also thick with eagles feasting on fresh road kill. I kept ducking behind my screen and swerving to avoid them as they wouldn't lift off until the last minute, and they were sluggish at that.
I finally arrived in Emerald at about 9:00pm, absolutely stinking and I mean stinking. I was covered from head to toe in cow poo. There is a cattle auction on this weekend in Rockhamption, so I spent the day riding behind road train after road train, watching the runny poo slosh out the rear of the truck and splash all over me. After a while, I just got used to it!
By the time I arrived in Emerald, I had forgotten that I was covered in cow poo. Greg was waiting outside for me and came over to give me a big hug, but pulled away pretty fast. I then realised that I must have smelled. So I asked, do I smell bad, I was greeted with a chorus of eer Yes from Greg, Amanda and Manfred. They advised me to have a shower, quickly;)
