Kilometre after kilometre of harsh desert country and then I peep over the top of a sand dune and what do I see - it was a pleasant surprise.
The city has been given special tax status to attract people to live and work in the area. They need it because it is in the middle of nowhere.
Got myself to a hostel and the place was packed with Aussies. Half a block from the beach with roof top views and a party atmosphere.
Got involved in a friendly game of beach soccer. Aussies v´s the rest ( couple of Poms and various South Americans ). We creamed them.
An Australia young couple I met have ties to Hamilton. Tessa Franklin is related to Jenny and Peter Fran klin as well as John and Jan Franklin. Andy Clements is related to Micahel and Kat Kerr. How about that?
There is a BMW accredited mecanic in town and I tried to track him down. The staff at the hostel eventually got onto him and he will try and service my bike for me if his schedule allows.
