First things first, ER to get the thing removed from my ear, Wow I can hear again, back to the caravan park to finish the washing and packing, foodworks for some supplies, and some pie's and coffee for brekky, the town was pretty lively for early in the morning, we asked a local what was going on, they replied that its just dole day and court day, dads bike fell over, but the front wheel was in a bike rack, with the weight of the bike, buckled the rim, pretty bad to, what to do. He's decided to ride with it the way it is for a while and see how it goes.  
It was 11:00 and we didn't want to waste anymore time here, it was 90 ks to wirrulla which would be a nice achievement after such a late start,
We past the 1500 kilometer mark today
The flies were bad, the wind was strong, we had about twenty ks to go when I started looking for a camp, dad says " no got a goal in mind and kept going" then the wind wind died and we got to wirrulla just on dark but everything was shut, except the pub, so I went in and asked him if there was somewhere we could pitch our tents, he said " across the road in the park, and there's a shower there, ten bucks for the key, so we had a beer, then when the manager realized we were riding for a charity, he offered us a room for the night as a donation, with showers and coffee in the morning, we couldn't believe it, a real bed, we didn't turn the offer down, thanks willy and to the locals who gave us a contribution
