The majestic expanse of Lake Cullulleraine provided a wonderful opportunity for a few moments of peaceful reflection before we commenced our journey this morning.
Creative drying techniques come in very handy when on the Peace Run. Here we see Sascha's shirt hanging underneath Orion's Belt
Our wonderful coordinator and captain, Ivan Marek; always cheerful, never flustered - a real stalwart of the Australian Peace Run team.
Our trusty suuport van, ready for another day on the road.
All smiles as we prepare to depart Lake Cullulleraine
Team member Grahak Cunningham manages a smile despite a buffeting head wind and dusty conditions. Grahak is a four-time finisher of the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race.
Truckies always give us a smile and a wave and often a blast on their air horn
Sascha from Moscow doesn't speak a lot of english but his tireless enthusiasm more than makes up for it.
Efficient change-overs are a key to making sure we cover the allocated miles.
Refuelling the torch
Renmark Primary School; work hard, play hard!
Mayor Neil Martinson of Renmark Paringa Council welcomed us to Renmark Primary School. Mayoral robes always make for a great photo! Thank you Neil!
We were very impressed with the attentive nature of the students.
It is hard not be optimistic for the future of our country and the world at large when you spend time with such happy and sincere children
A moment's peace; an exercise we have shared with millions of children around the globe.
Attempting to entertain the students with some humorous skits
We asked the students to guess which states and countries our runners come from
