Monday 14th June, 2021 30.8km
A little bit of elevation
1582 / 3516.9km
The rain sort of came with drops every now and then.
Belinda sent a message to say a line of thunderstorms was moving mainly south of me. I walked all day listening to the rumble of thunder and the occasional spot of rain.

After about 17 kilometres I was on a rise watching a storm come across the valley. It was still south of me but I wasn't keen to walk into it. I kept my eye on it as I walked also looking for cover if I needed it. Standing alone on a bare rise in the middle of the road was making me nervous.
I kept walking as I watched it move in front of me. It had that dark green tinge of a hail storm about it. In the end I got a small shower and a little wind but I walked into the area it had passed and it must have dropped a lot of rain and the road was covered in leaf debris, so the wind must have been pretty wild.
The table drains and the creeks had water but it was very muddy of course. I ended up walking all the way through to Glenroy Crossing on the Fitzroy River where I picked up my water and moved up the road to camp. There is still thunder and showers come along frequently. Not heavy just enough to keep the ground muddy.

I made a quick noodle dinner and got into the tent to listen to the rain. It sounds much more than it is when in the tent but it lulled me asleep. Big day and I was knackered again. Watch tells me I need 3 days to recover. I'm starting to believe it as it seems to get my body battery fairly right. Belinda will be happy with my camp, it's just up from the crocodile warning sign.
