| The road out |
 |
Packing up in the fog
|
Woke up to a foggy morning. Tent fly saturated. But I love the coolness of the mornings and hope to use it to cover a few kilometres early.
This section is not the most scenic and once I get to the road it goes 300 kilometres atleast. So I plan to lift the pace where possible.

Creek crossing
|
Still won't miss much at 4.5kph but it does turn into trudge and more a test between mind and body.
 |
The power easement
|
The day started with a long walk under a power line virtually following a cow pad through the spear grass. My big excitement for the morning was pulling two dead birds from a cattle water trough. I didn't need to fill luckily.
Hit the bitumen of Gunawarra Road, pulled the seeds out, hitched the pack up and started the plod. I actually got to the designated camp site fairly early but decided to keep going into the afternoon and stealth camp beside the road somewhere. So loaded up with water and went on my way. Still only covered 26k and have to do it all again for the next 10 days.

Some more bitumen
|
 |
| Tacos - Dehydrated mince with taco seasoning. Would have killed for an avocado. |
 |
| No fly on the tent looking at the sun go down |
 |
The designated camp site looked good
|
 |
| Gunnawarra Station entrance. Apparently the homestead is original timber and is heritage listed. Couldn't see it from the road. |
