Flood waters subsiding. Especially at low tide. Rain easing. The road south from Bowen now open. As far as Proserpine certainly. A day’s ride away. And a chance to track down "Two Bob". Runs a really decent campsite there I’d been told. Reliable sources. Then on to Mackay. Shown on the sketch map below. Couple of days riding. Time to press on whilst the going’s good.
