| Walk out the Sarina Marlborough Rd |
1551.2 / 3547.7km
The walk out of Marlborough is on the Old Sarina Road, about a kilometre north of the caravan park. So back on the highway and go north till I then turn west for a couple of kilometres then finally southish.

| The country is a lot more timbered |

| Marlborough Creek. Interesting rock art |
I remember Craig saying he was coming out this way to work today but with the later start I thought I had missed him. But about 2 hours into the walk they came down the road and offered me a lift up until the mine turn off a couple of k's down the road. They were working at the nickel mine but you could see the remnants of the old chrysopase mine.

| Filled up from flowing creek |

| This red and green parrot was following me down the road. |
I blinked and missed the old Marlborough townsite. It was moved to the rail line where it is today. I crossed the Marlborough Creek where I filled up with water, it was flowing well but I wasn't that dirty. The area around that creek was heavily timbered so I carried my water up to the next creek which was dry but had grassy open patches much better to camp.
There is cloud cover and it feels like it's going to be a warm night. Rain is predicted.
