Mt Elizebeth -Ellenbrae station 180kms 
Set off good and early and was on the road by 7.45am.tied the headlight on with fishing wire to hold it in place .
Road in pretty good nick for most of the way with some rough bits .
Got to 3kms away from our turnoff to the station and wondered why the car was not pulling . Pulled over and lo and behold a flat back tyre !!!.
Just as we pulled up a guy pulled up who was part of the crew grading the road who was a tyre changing world champion and  we were back on the road in 20 minutes. Life saver.
Got to the campsite after having scones etc (Ellenbrae is well known on the GRR for it's scones ) had the tent up by 1.30 pm.
Two nights here to have a break and get the tyre fixed .
Day 2
Quiet day with a 6pm walk and a couple of cool offs in the billabong , bloody cold but very refreshing .
Setting off to Home valley station tomorrow about 140 kms away , hope the road is okay but speaking to fellow campers it's not pretty .
