Wednesday 28th April, 2021 27.5km
326 / 4772.9km
Bright and early start. I had charged up the Inreach and the phone so the battery pack was down to about 25%I set up the solar panel down the back of the backpack. Since I am mainly heading soth most of the day the sun is behind me so the panel should work most of the day.
Today was basically walking through Pinnacle Station. Nobody actually lives here, the owners are in Winton, but there were a few cattle about.
It was a warm day and again creeks were a little sluggish until I left the station roads and hit the main bitumen road. Where as I crossed a bridge over Leadingham Creek there was the sound of water bubbling along merrily.
I dropped the pack, got out my water filter kit and jumped down into the creek bed which saw my phone fly out of my pocket into the water. A quick recovery but I didn't touch the phone for the rest of the day. So not many pictures. Although after that point it was mainly roads around to Walsh river where a little walk down a trck saw me camped for the night on a sandy bank.
It was a long day and I would have pulled up earlier if I had seen a suitable spot but there were a lot of "Do not Enters" and "Private Property" signs to ward of a stealth camp desire.
The river camp was ok just sandy and I could hear the traffic on the highway. I could also hear someone having a party so I wasn't far from civilisation. Was able to wash down and check on the solar panel and it had charged the battery pack fully. I couldn't tell how long into the afternoon it took but I know it works ok. Early to bed.
I'm Buggered.
