| The tent fly was frozen stiff |
Friday 30th July, 2021 19.8km
2467.6 / 2631.3km
It was cold as predicted. I wake up about 5.30 am and get out of bed for morning ablutions and when I grab the tent fly it's like cardboard. It's frozen.
 |
| even the handles of my poles |
I've learnt a few tricks such as doing all my buttons up before getting out of the tent as it's impossible with icy fingers.
The pack up was fast so I can get moving to warm up. It's another simple day of wandering country roads. Today ends up at the watershed of the Brisbane River and then follow the western branch of the river most of the day.

| After climbing the hill, turn down a side road |
I did about 20 kilometres by lunch but decided to stop at a beautiful spot by the river. I managed to wash and clean and had an afternoon listening to an audio book. These spots need to be savoured when found. I feel relaxed again.
