Day 68 Dee River to Centre Creek

More of these type of fig planting
 Wednesday 23rd June, 2021 25km

1800.4 / 3298.5

The walk continued through this valley and then turned down a fence line that takes you across to another road leading over a range.

A line of figs down the fence line
The walk is steady and not all that inspiring. Civilisation is much closer and the houses are more numerous and the private property signs prolific. Wonder what makes people think they need these signs? I'm pretty sure it's evident if I'm on a road between fences and there's a gate with a track leading to a humpy its a private property.
The track turns down a cleared fence line

The day is supposed to end at a waterhole. But when I get there I find a lot of cattle carcasses. One still at the smelly stage. I don't know whether someone's using the place as a butchering zone or these are animals that have fallen in the waterhole and have been dragged out, anyway I move on. Which is to say back the way I come as this camp was a 900 metre diversion off the track. In the end I find a spot about 3 metres off the road near a fence. I was having dinner and watched 3 cars pass and not one driver glanced over and saw me. Quiet night with a few drops of rain.


The track climbs over a range

all the way down that road
