The rain hit in the afternoon. At one point the rain was so heavy that I could only do 60k (40mph) despite the outback road being straight, with hardly any traffic. The rain turned the whole world white, and I could barely see the road.
After the rain stopped there were loads of puddles on and near the road, with kangaroos and cows drinking from many of them. This made the journey slow as the animals wouldn't get off the road until we were nearly on top of them.
