We reached Loch Sport and took refuge in a sturdy house—complete with a crackling fireplace, a functional kitchen, great company, and expansive views. Situated just a short 2 km jaunt from 90 Mile Beach, we decided to make it our first-day destination, stumbling upon a seal peacefully dozing in the misty afternoon.
A long drive of about 650 km was ahead of us. We left our camp in Canberra early on a warm Tuesday morning, and drove north to the Gungahlin Aquatic Centre to stretch out, relax and get the blood moving before a day of sitting in the car. We always try to get to a fitness centre every few days when travel through a town, this way we can avail ourselves of the showers and at the same time keep actively working on our fitness. The local pool is also a fantastic way to meet locals.
