Had to sit this one out. Repaired two tubes from yesterdays ride, one successful, the other would not retain its inflation. It was also raining very heavily over night and in the morning. No riding today. The only thing to do was to buy some more tubes. But from where? Fortunately we are passing through Roma on our way to Injune. Roma is a big Oil & Gas Town and the local toy shop had the right type of tubes. Bought five and will put one on the bike this evening in Injune. Played Tourist in Roma having a look at the Oil & Gas exhibition at the Tourist Information Centre.

It is interesting to see the effect mining has on a small town. At the Telstra Shop the Techie explained that the normal population of Roma is about 15,000 but swells by an additional 60,000 with the Miners. Have a look at the Car Park at Roma Airport.
