Day 121 Cressbrook Creek

Sunday 15th August, 2021 25.1km

Coming up out of the creek

2582.6 / 2516.3 km

Up early to try and avoid some of the hotter weather later in the afternoon. The climb out of the creek is rewarded with a sunrise through the fog.

I have enjoyed the walk across this area through the station properties. It takes a little of the tedium of walking roads and dodging traffic.

Someone had a good camping spot

The trail goes across a ridge line looking down into Ivory Creek Valley. I slow down and sit a while and enjoy the view.

Sun up

All to soon its back on a fairly busy road for a Sunday. Must be the motor cycle riders pet race track. I'm passed by about 30 as I walk. I then turn right at a place called Noonans corner. I kept walking hoping there was a shop at the corner but it's just a homestead. It's a short stroll up the Esk Crows Nest Road to Cressbrook Creek where I fill up with water and then a short walk to a camp ground beside the road. It looked like it might have been the locals sport field in the day.

Another bloody nose this afternoon with a stinking headache. If I was at home I would use one of those sinus irrigation things. Can only hope it settles.

Slept like a log though.

I hope he ate

cross country again

The camping area on Cressbrook Creek. 
Looked like an old cricket pitch.
