Day 4 was a very short and very enjoyable day. We left Gregory Downs and headed onto the Savannah Way. The paved road run out after about 35 km, and we dirt, and gravel, and water. In total there must have been 7 water crossings, although only two had water. It really has been an uneventful day. Some lovely scenery again, and the water crossings with water were special. At lunch we stopped at the second water crossing, went for a wonder and stumbled across a waterfall. While the river was not really flowing it look great. We arrived at around 2:30, set up camp and spent the afternoon talking bollocks. An interesting stat came out from Rex today (co-pilot of the Scuderia Shitbox) when we informed all and sundry that over a lifetime a male will ejaculate 20 L of fluid. Wow.
A great start to my Canberra residential of GPSL.
