Last night we camped at the infamous Snowtown. For those who are unaware 11 murders were committed by John Bunting in this town between 1992 and 1999. The bodies were disposed of in barrels and stored in a vault at the local bank. Hence, the title of today's post. MOAM looked out for each other at all times, pooled our coins together and made sure that there was no need to go to the bank!
On the road at 7:30 (lucky Sue & Ken had set their alarm as the rest of the crew hadn't) with Brad being the only one jumping on the scales for a weigh in! The remainder of the crew quite happy to busy themselves so as to not have 'time' to do the same.
Driving behind Brad today, I have taken the opportunity to look at images and signs along the road. Most visibly is the prominent and beautiful image of Mitch on the left and rear of Brad's riding jersey. There is no doubt the boys are definitely pedalling together on this mission. Nowhere nearly as significant are signs displaying distances between towns. I'm sure Brad is pleased to see the number of km decreasing between them. I was amused when I saw Brad cast his eyes at a group of signs advertising pies, pasties and sausage rolls at a local shop. I was waiting for him to call up and say, 'What's for lunch mum?'
MOAM really got their act together today communication wise. Everyone is feeling a lot happier about the information and updates being shared. Had a laugh a minute ago as a young girl was on the same channel and was asking Brad if he read! I resisted responding to her question!
Morning tea was taken near Crystal Brook so that Brad could be interviewed on 94.5FM Legend's' radio show. Brad did well again with the media even though the Optus line dropped out twice but a Telstra one came to the rescue. Later in the day we thought the paparazzi were following him as a young guy hung out from his 'Wicked' van and photographed Brad.
After lunch Shane donned the lycra and joined Brad on the 50km ride into Port Augusta. What a proud moment for Shane to ride side by side (correction Shane in Brad's slipstream) with his son.
