Day 21 Elliot to Daly Waters 153 kms

Woken early by the stray dogs chasing the stray cats around the camp site. The weather has improved and the day looks to be promising. Everyone was away early except for Woody. He sat around camp for quite awhile before heading off on the road again.
Morning tea was at the 50 km mark just on the side of the road. Supplies were getting low for the morning tea and not much opportunity to buy now until Katherine. I still have the old faithfuls of sandwiches, some fruit cake (which they had today) and of course the good old biscuit barrel.
Dunmarra for lunch and everyone had a good feed of pies and junk food. Collis ended up having the biggest breakfast he has ever eaten in one sitting. Two of the riders, Peter & Pat decided to go into Newcastle Waters to have a look around so they ended up a fair way behind the rest of the group for the whole day. The day is starting to get warmer.
Arrived at Daly Water mid afternoon for most of us and settled into the camp area. There is a constant waft of sewer smells in the late afternoon which can be a bit off putting but we did eventually sort of get used to it.
 Most of us went to the show tonight and they had three acts. We managed to raise some funds for TADVIC as well by walking around with the tin and chatting with the caravaners.
