Today was the day of a mental mind game.
The walk goes through a lot of state forest on many varied roads and is fairly well signposted so no a mental challenge there.
However, as the news comes through about the latest covid updates it's apparent that I'm not going to see anyone in the family for the foreseeable future.

On some of these long walks it's about splitting things into manageable chunks that you find achievable. Part of my plan was looking forward to time off with family. Whilst Fred was good company it wasn't quite the same, so back on trail hoping for a better result but it doesn't seem to be. That brings me down a bit and I spent the day readjusting the mind.
Should I stop and have a break?
What are my next goals?
How far can I go in Qld before I stop?
Should I cross into NSW?

So the break as wanted is not going happen. A break now will not reinvigorate me as I want. I can now readjust the goal to the half way point. The resupply is easier as there are proper supermarkets about 7 days apart for the next 4 weeks except Kilkivan, where I dropped a box.

If I can work out how to get from Killarney back to Hervey Bay I have the ability to go the maximum in Qld. If I decide to drop into NSW I will be giving up the chance to see any family for a fair while.
The kilometres pass as I think, can't remember much but stopped and looked at a few things. The campsite tonight is a youth forestry camp with toilets and water. This takes a little pressure off finding a suitable stop.
I haven't come up with all my answers before I pull up for the night, more thinking. I'll break down the walk into smaller goals and achieve them and watch developments as they happen.
