A truck saluted me as I ran towards a rusty sign declaring the Western end
of the 90mile straight and the first road bend in about 140km.
- A glorious little moment there :-)
Also a nice finish in an orange-purple sunset covering the entire horizon.
But the legs are a bit tired by now, I must admit, after another 60km in
total by the two stints of the day.
PS: The reports from the Nullabor desert are a bit delayed and kept
shorter than usual due to lack of phone and internet connections

Meantime we take a tour up the road to the "Balladonia Roadhouse" where a
couple of decades ago pieces of the Skylab space-station fell down after
having served its purpose and being put intentionally out of orbit.
A fun de?ja?vue as I remember following that story keenly in the
newspapers so many years ago. (It?s safe to say that I didn?t expect to
see any of the pieces of the wreck myself; and even less to be running
past it. How life surprises you!)
