Day 51 Whelan Creek

Sunday 6th June, 2021 27.2km

1369.7 / 3729.2km

The homestead chapel
The party shed


I got up early as I was very cold and moving was better than shivering. I walked the kilometre or so to the homestead and saw they had a chapel type setup but the party I heard was in a shed a little farther on. There were all the cars that passed me yesterday. I was hoping to see a recovery breakfast in progress but most were still in bed.

The bitumen finished, so it definitely wasn't a short cut to the highway and I didn't see any more traffic.
It was just a plain old walk today. I didn't really have to but I did take the 500 metre diversion into Undercliff Homestead to fill up with water. I met Alan and his dogs, he had a 12 week old Dachshund (no picture). When I was leaving it followed me down the road so I had to pick it up and take it back (sorry Isabelle).

Then it was a quick walk down to the camp spot on Murray Creek. I managed to wash a bit and my shirt. I found a camp spot well away from the creek as there was a lot of disturbance along the sides from wild pigs and got a fair night's sleep.
