Day 66 Upper Ulam Reserve to Eight Mile Creek

This morning's camp
Monday 21st June 27.4km

1750.2 / 3348.7km

Not much to talk about today. It's the winter solstice, so shortest day, that's the problem with winter walking . I've got 10 hours of good daylight and I like to have a couple of hours at the end of the day to relax have a cup of tea and cook dinner. So that gives me 8 hours to get the walking I need doing done, today that's 28 kilometres and even though it's flat I have to keep moving and not have the rest breaks I like. After a crap sleep last night the body battery is low to start with.
A lot of this
Anyway, the road is long and tedious and my main companions today are tip trucks going to and from a marble quarry up the road. I think I will pass it tomorrow.

I get to the designated camp spot by 4, sunset is at 5.30pm. The permanent water hole has no water in it, so it's a drier dinnertime. I will go to bed early and hope for a better sleep tonight.


Much the same tomorrow.
