Day 98 - Bermagui to Beamba - 57km
The rain settled and I bid farewell to Daniel and Che and headed off to Carbargo, made famous by it's residents, post the bushfires, telling Scott Morrison to get lost. There was still a light drissle but I had dried out from the day before and in good spirits.
On to the Princes Highway, it's a very lumpy road crossing through farmland, cows and sheep. It's mainly dairy country around here and the next town is famous for its cheese, Bega.
In Bega I got some food and a packet of mint slice's to enjoy later. Further down the road I noticed a flat. I had been lazy and hadn't repaired the previous flat so it was a side of the road job to repair two tyres.
I found a tiny puncture hole on one tube and lined it up with the other, bingo, we had a puncture in the same spot on both tubes. Scanning the tyre a found a pin embedded and removed it, hopefully that's the end of it. On repairing the tube I noticed my chain was pretty dry, must have washed a lot away with the rain from yesterday. I couldn't find my oil, must have fell of the bike at some point. Thinking what I could use instead, the oil in my Mi Goreng packets or sunscreen were the two options I went with the latter.
My next stop is Eden and I think ill spend the night there, after sorting out my bike it was time to find a place to camp, I found an old gravel pit, and set my tent up early to dry it out, still soaked from yesterday.
