Not much to report today. I took the bike back to Matt up the road. We couldn't work out what the hoses were actually for that are leaking. They run to the carb, which surely doesn't need cooling. After some googling I found out that it is to heat the carb so it doesn't ice over. It is the middle of winter with overnight lows of 21 degrees so that isn't a concern. Bizarrely, it seems only the Australian model has this carb heating line, while the North American model that might actually need it, does not. So it is now blocked off. Hopefully that's it fixed.
The only other thing I did was clean my chain and go for a swim in this in ground rainwater tank they have here. With a heater and some jets it'd make a pretty nifty spa.
I'm going to go for a longer test ride tomorrow to make sure everything is alright then pack up so I can get away early Friday. From what I can see the national park camps in Litchfield fill up really early, like 11am early.
Tonight I think I'm going to finally test out this fishing rod, so I'll probably be eaten by a crocodile.
