Thursday 24th July 2003 76km (439km) Day 8 of 77
Difficult to get out of bed this morning as rain was still falling and riding clothes were cold and wet. Burke and Wills followed Wild Duck Creek which these days is in the center of Lake Eppalock. Fortunately, the Lake was so low at the moment that we were able to cycle through the center. It took all day to battle through the mud and spent an hour scrambling across the Creek over a natural bridge. Cycled through the dark and rain until we reached Goornong at 10pm. We were lucky to find some shelter infront of the local community center and had a great nights sleep.
