Day 21: Zero Day - Melrose


It was still cold and windy with occasional showers but I didn't care whilst I looked out the window at it all. I walked around town as its not that big and it does fire up apparently, every so often with those queer mountain biking people. Apparently in two weekends they also have a king of the hill race (on foot) up Mt remarkable. 
It has a mountain biking shop here and it was funny to walk past the first time when Belinda and Isabelle were here and see a $3000 mountain bike in the window and more expensive ones at the back. You could also hire the $3000 one for $75 a day. I was tempted to see if my arse got sore as much on a really expensive bike. No bollards in front of the window. Mustn't tell those city slicker snatch and grabbers! 
Sorted out the pack and dried out all the gear as the day went on watched a crap load of television and generally slacked around. 
The next leg is a 7 day leg with a one night stopover then another 5 day leg to Burra for the next zero in more civilised area. From there to Crystal Brook will take me to what is recognised as the last of the Flinders Ranges. Then the track moves east. Another pub meal tonight. Not as big as last night. Might have an entree size.
