Outback Odyssey Day 5, May 20th 2013, Back to Adelaide

Well it rained over night so we dawdled over a hot breakfast in the hall in the hopes that we could pack up a dry tent not a wet one. Thankfully it was pretty dry once we got back and even better Wayne and Libby, the people who were giving us a lift back to Burra had come and parked right next to the tent.

After chasing down my raffle prize and the contact number of the person to access our car in Burra we were on our way and spent a delightful couple of hours chatting to Wayne and Libby, another couple from the ride who we hadn’t really had the chance to bump into before. I’d like to say our drive was uneventful, however we encountered some hungry sheep who decided that the side of the road had some very tasty looking grass. Not wanting to begrudge them a bit of tucker, we waited patiently to pass safely through. 

Really Good Flour

We got to Burra in on piece and retrieved our car, wishing the couple good luck in finding a missing pair of cycling glasses. After stacking everything in the car, including the raffle prize, we headed back towards Adelaide. I did however manage to sneak in a gourmet stop on the way home, collecting a bag of Egyptian Gold flour from the Tarlee Mill. The lady at the counter seemed a little baffled by my enthusiasm, but trust me, it’s really good flour.

Bread making urges were strong!

Anyway, we made it back and now I just have to resist my bread making urges long enough to do a pile of washing.
