Alfred George, Warwick Thornton, Willy Orr, Ethan Dagg and Winmati Morris talk about what the first half of the race was like. Children play on the parked bikes.

The Finke Desert Race is a competition that tests the will and strength of the competitors. The possibility of getting the younger people involved is one of the motivations for the older participants.
