Day 59 - Fitzroy Crossing to Warmun (Turkey Creek)

Well, the pesky headwinds were still an issue today. Another slow day on the scooters. Then, a sign ahead.

They had seen these signs before, but had not taken much notice of them, until now. 'Caution - water on road'. So, around the corner they came and screech went the brakes as they stopped for some water on the road indeed. Not to miss an opportunity to video record something exciting, Ulls jumped off his bike and sent Torsten head on into the creek. What suspense, how exciting, he made it across. Yeah! Then Ulls waded across the creek gave Torsten instructions to now record his crossing. Ulls mounts his bike then heads into the water himself. Hmm, harder than it looks... the water was up over the muffler...putt, putt, putt, kaput. The engine died. Stuck in the creek. Lucky Torsten is catching this all on film. I bet Ulls was cursing under his breath. We will have to listen to the tape with extra care to try and see if we can hear a hint of any swearing. The adrenaline gives him a surge of excitement, his blood pumping. He tries to get that engine turning over. Fail. Try again. And again...and with a growl it roars to life and he floors it out of the water! Hooray.

Now here is a theory...perhaps they call it Turkey Creek because of all the travelers that get stuck in it! Hee Hee.
