30th September 2012
Overnight, the infamous lost luggage affair was brought to a conclusion. The luggage was located in a cabin occupied by Margaret Liptak, Jan McLeod and Tiffany Bolton, each of whom thought the stray luggage belonged to one of the other occupants. Dallas Clark was very happy to get his luggage back and the ladies became the triple-recipients of the Morris Minus award for their notorious behaviour.
The day was warm and sunny. We had 25.5 km to cover, so we set off a little early to get one of the road slogs out of the way. The first stretch of road, Partacoona Road, provided some interesting sights and unexpected encounters.

After leaving Partacoona, we headed for the beautiful Willochra Creek with its exposed ochre walls.

| The approach to Willochra Creek is steep and difficult. |
Then it was a steady climb to Buckaringa North.
.On the way, Dallas Clark met an old mate.

| Some areas were dry and stony. |
On the second long stretch of road for the day, John Fox was a little nervous about getting too close to the fox baits on the side of the road.
