The guys left Broome yesterday with an aerial escort courtesy of Charles. Rumours of Cyclone Bonny somewhere north west of Australia spurred us on to cover 300 miles to Port Hedland with a brief stop at the Sandfire roadhouse. Anxious viewing of the weather forecast provided some reassurance on the cyclone and also revealed that Port Hedland reached a temperature of 41 deg C. Today we did another two legs to reach Onslow via Karratha. Onslow is a small town by the seaside so we are looking forward to an afternoon on the beach. John, Jim & Keith=

Hi Team, we’ve been following your journey with great interest and thought it was about time we sent you a message. Sounds pretty hot out there, so enjoy the beach if you can but not too much, OK?
Many best wishes for the remainder of your fantastic trip, we look forward to hearing all about it when you get back. Fly safely, Chris and all at BMAA HQ.

Thanks very much Chris,
We’re trying to take the most of the sun whilst it lasts1 There’s apparently a 10c temperature gradient between Coral Bay and Bunbury, best get our winter woollies out.
Regards,
Jim.
