Border Run 2026: Day 07 – Ceduna to Port Augusta

Had the best night’s sleep – a full night…hee yah!! Highly recommend the Foreshore Motel in Ceduna.

Up at 7am, breaky, packed and out on the street waiting for the boys. Heaps of time so some piccies before they start to roll out the gate. We have truly been blessed by the weather gods this trip and it is an absolute cracker of a day.

Possum, Macca and I stop again in Wudinna Bakery for brunch and meet up with Karen & Peter. It’s actually good to chat to another woman on the ride and before long it’s time to get going again.

There is no wind today, glorious day to be riding and after overtaking a few road trains, about 2km out of Kimba get a call from Kimba get a call from Chicky to check where I’m at. I’m stopping for the silo art and if you guys are still in town, will tag you otherwise will keep going and see you in PA.

Great pic at the silo art, no sign of the boys so truck on.

The bitumen is just like a big ribbon, if you picked it up at one end and gave it a massive big shake it would rumble and undulate all the way. About 100km from Port Augusta, I was feeling a little dehydrated so after a couple of failed attempts pulling off on the verge finally found a safe spot to pull over and grab a kersoine to get me through.

Left turn and head towards Iron Knob and the cross winds hot again and the last 70km are with me all the way.

Piccie at the PA sign and fuel and the Liberty before making it to the motel. First time on the trip, that I’ve beat all the boys in.
