It is known by different names - the third nut, a mangina, some even call it the golden retreiver. Whatever you call it, a sore in the nether regions is a true pain in the butt.

A world if pain today.  F&@k my arse was sore.  Some sort of infection going on, I don't want to know.  Just as we'll a slow ride was planned, in and out of the saddle the entire time.

It was an uphill run for the first 30 kms.  From the top of the range, there were roadworks all the way to the bottom, basically an unsealed road.  The sign said 7%, maybe 6 kms, bike and trailer gets a bit loose at 60-70 kms/hr.  Fun though.

Gayndah is a pretty good place.  Queenslands oldest country town apparently.  Seems to be be affluence here, plenty of foreign workers.

Thankfully no riding this afternoon, 37 degrees which is probably 40 on the road. Storms forecast for this evening, hope not.  Cooler tomorrow.

Off to the chemist now to buy some potions for the undercarriage.

Binjour - the Burnett Highway is full of places like this.  This store closed a long time ago.  Remaining are 3 houses across the road and at least one friendly dog.

Lucerne under irrigation in the middle of nowhere.

The Burnett River from the bridge on way to town.

Campsite with a view.
