We started off fairly early this morning as a few were actually washed out of their tents. Not really but it did get a bit wet overnight. The temperature had dropped slightly but it was still pretty steamy. We were all hoping that the rain would just pass over and we would have a dry run to Junee at least.
Woody was the last to leave and I have a feeling he may have stopped somewhere for breakfast as well because Anna & Michael didn't spot him out on the road at all before morning tea. We sent Michael & Anna on in the first wave to set up morning tea as we had to shop for some food for a meal we will be providing on Good Friday.
We decided to forgo the breakfast that was planned and provide dinner instead. As it will be Good Friday, we are unsure what, if anything, will be open tomorrow night for a meal. We have got some fish for those wanting to avoid meat then a BBQ for the rest of the riders. We managed to get a small amount of kangaroo for the overseas participants (I won't tell them it's road kill).

We found Woody on the side of the road early in the day with a flat tyre, looking that it might end up an extra long day for him. The others arrived in time for morning tea with muesli bars and Jan's zucchini loaf on the menu. Anna and I did a walk around town looking for the best hot cross buns in Junee. Junee had a huge downpour as the riders arrived and I think they all got wet. Woody came in later and hadn't been rained on at all.
After morning tea the rain came across the fields in sheets and no-one was spared. They were starting to look a bit like drowned rats which got worse after they set up camp. The heavens opened just as we unpacked and set in with steady rain for another couple of hours. Woody & Peter were last in both pretty wet. Woody took a room.
The whole group went across to the RSL for dinner after the boys played a game of 500 with Fliss & Ben the winners. All worked out well and the group is melding nicely. Cowra tomorrow.
