Day 13 - Threeways

Filled up the fuel bladder today as the run to Barkly Homestead is greater than a tank of fuel.

Halfway along in the middle of nowhere I topped up the bike. Onward to Barkly. Not a lot to see however the landscape changed at least three times from grasslands to stubble and then to scrub.

Ordered a Chiko roll and a skinny flat white and received a sausage roll and a cappuccino. It's becoming the norm to order one thing and receive something totally different. The backpackers have a problem with my accent I was told. Go figure.

Onwards to Threeways to refuel and head south to Tennant Creek. I was shocked to see the number of people gathered outside the two pubs in town and drunk. Very, very sad.

We turned around and headed back to Threeways for the night. A better (and safer) option.

Called into the old Telegraph station on the way.
