Note
Left Jamestown about 7:30am and cleaned up a roo about 8km east of town. First time I've ever done that and it came out of nowhere on a bend with the sun in my eyes. Actually, it came out of a clump of trees (farmland all around) and the first I knew of it was the almighty thump, although Simon said he caught a glimpse of its shadow. Right hand front corner rather dented and pushed a bit sideways, although perfectly driveable until after dark when I found out that my headlights are now pointing in weird directions. Roo presumably dead although to my shame I didn't go back and check, or at least drag it off the road, because I was too startled. Kind of glad that I didn't actually see it coming because if I had, I might have swerved instinctively even though I know that the first rule of driving is that you must never swerve for a roo because whatever else you hit might be worse.
Anyway, it was cold enough for jackets when we got to Bri Glen and we finished off the last controls on the south side of Wonna Creek (that's a fun section; north end of Merridee) before Peter K (day organiser) met us and we gave him a guided tour of the arena spectacular and the start layout. After lunch in Burra at a newish little café which I can recommend for Easter weekend, got home in time to begin emptying the kitchen cupboards and carting the contents across to Avenue Rd. Geoff has already taken all the books (and bookshelves) and is dropping hints that I'm dragging my heels a bit...
