NUNDROO TO CEDUNA – DAY 13

Today, 29th August, has been a mixed bag on the road – the cyclists have had tail winds, cross winds and headwinds! On the whole, it has been a good day, but the wind strength has increased as the day has progressed and the strongest winds were the headwinds. We are all thankful for the assistance given us by the wind today. We pulled out of Nundroo roadhouse this morning at about 7.15am and were here at Ceduna before 3.00pm this afternoon. The distance was 151km according to the paperwork and a touch more than that according to the bus odometer.

We are staying tonight at Ceduna Anglican Church hall and will be back to our standard cereal, toast, tea or coffee breakfast as of tomorrow – no more of this cooked breakfast thing – and a good thing too if you ask me! We are scheduled to eat tonight at the Ceduna Sailing Club. Tomorrow night and the following night, we are to stay at the Catholic Church in Streaky Bay.

It has not been possible to have a team meeting throughout the time we have been overnighting at roadhouses because there has not been a suitable room available for such a meeting. Here in Ceduna tonight we have been able to meet together around the Word of God and to share some of its truths together. We have also talked about the good things and the not so good things which have taken place over the last week or so. It was good to be able to share with the rector and his wife and to hear of some of the things the Ceduna churches are seeking to do in the name of Christ. Recent years have been hard for the farming community and this year is shaping up to be a good year in terms of rainfall and a positive outlook on how things are progressing.

Again we thank God for His safekeeping of our entire team on and off the roads. We have witnessed some scary things at times brought about by tired and impatient drivers, but none of these things have had any negative effect on ourselves or others.
