Run 44:00 [3] 8.2 km (5:22 / km)
Left Broken Hill early (albeit not quite as quickly as I'd planned because someone had parked me in last night and it took a while to find them). Rain started landing on the windscreen about 50km out of town, and while I didn't think there was much to that lot (indeed as it turned out it failed to trouble the scorers at Broken Hill), the consequences of getting it wrong were severe, so I gave Mutawintji a miss and headed straight for Tibooburra. This did give me time to do some exploring in the eastern section of Sturt National Park; quite nice, but I suspect I missed out on better.
The run was done in the late afternoon, with my target The Granites nature trail about 3km out of town. This name may hint at something - Tibooburra is surrounded by the stuff (although the hills are so densely covered with it that I suspect many of them would be unmappable). The track gave some good chances to look at rocks and take pictures of some of the more photogenic rocks. Hamstring still not quite right, and I decided not to take it out to an hour as I'd originally planned.
