Day 2 is done. 518 km (321 mi) in around 6 hrs 40 m.
I'm travelling down the Leichardt Highway. It's mostly straight and would be perfect for cruising if it weren't so bumpy and full of potholes. On the upside, there's been basically no traffic.
Peak temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) was really toasty, but at least the humidity is just 35%.
Best part - I'm getting 4.5 L/100 km (52 mpg) fuel economy - much better than usual.
