I’ve just got off the phone to Boulder and they’ve been having a ball , the left Bedowa after meeting some locals and got a guided tour around an enormous private property on the bikes checking out amazing bird life and waterholes while still enjoying the new KTMs.
They camped in the bush last night and left for Bullia where they are staying tonight. They have tackled some very very soft sand which the big girls handled with ease and their confidence is high ready for crossing the Simpson.
Fish has had a slight problem when he stepped into a large hole and twisted his knee , he’s got it on ice and fingers crossed it will be ok for tomorrow.Once parked up at the end of today Boulder noticed a small puddle under is bike which turned out to be a fuel leak from a gasket connecting his furl pump to the Safari tank. He removed the fuel pump to find the gasket deformed and not useable and thinks the gasket was made of a rubber not suited to fuel. They checked Fishs and it’s fine. Boulder found a local who’s mate is a mechanic and works the gas fields so hopefully the can make a gasket tomorrow that will do the job.
Boulders not happy but as always said …. It’s all part of the adventure

Email late last night from Fish ….
Boob mountain ….. Been away too long already !
They must have got Boulders bike fixed and Fish is fit to ride as they’ve made the QLD border
Just got off the phone with Boulder and they have arrived in Birdsville after nearly 2 big days in the Simpson Desert. He sounded knackered and was keen for a rest and some beers. They repaired his gasket issue by making a new cork one and made a spare just in case this happened to Fish
Boulders bike stripped
They just got to the edge of the Simpson when Fishes gasket failed too, lucky they made that spare.
