I just spoke to Rob.
He is heading towards Coolgardie with his next fuel stop at Southern Cross. It is about 10 degrees at the moment making it a bit crisper. Rob said he hasn't had his helmet off since Kimba this morning when he was trying to repair the pannier after the Roo decided to re arrange it a little. He wants to try and repair it a bit better in Perth.
He has approx 700km and 7.5 hrs to get to Perth, he said he has done that section before in 7 hours so he is confident to make it in time. Good luck Rob!
