Day 97 Ooramera Creek

More State Forest track

Thursday 22nd July 23.9km

2320.1 / 2778.8 km
Another day of wandering through State Forest areas and then heading up the Mary River Valley.
Not much to report on but I was happy with the solitude of the trail today, a lot of birds and the day was warm.

Beautiful day for a walk and contemplation
The afternoon saw me walking up a track to come across a small balance bike in the middle of the trail. I could see footprints that I interpreted as a mother and two children. Looking around I couldn't see anybody so I put the bike against a tree of the side of the trail. Further up was a bucket with rocks in it, couldn't see anyone or interpret what had gone on?

sometimes the track is hiding


The trail finishes in State Forest at Ooramera Creek which wasn't running but I went downstream a bit and found a puddle that wasn't as scummy looking as the crossing on the trail. I found a lovely spot up out of the creek and had a relaxing afternoon. Not covering a lot of kilometres but making sure I'm not exhausted and enjoying the time and views.

Getting close to the creek camp
The creek. Not running and the colour is true.
I went downstream a bit to find some better stuff.
