| A bit of history |
Wednesday 18th August, 2021 25.2km2643.6 / 2455.3km
I finally was able to talk to Lynn whose property is the next camp at Murphy's Creek.
It's about 23 kilometres away but mostly downhill. She has cooked a chicken curry and some cake. There is also a tavern at Murphy's Creek.

| Lookout |
The initial walk this morning is up to a lookout from the range escarpment. Then the trail follows a clay road adjoining the National Park and comes out on some rural roads that begins the descent off the range. It's a pity that as you walk a lot of the sides of the trail is thick with lantana and there is not much to see.
Not much to say about the descent through open forest, other than its better than going up. At the bottom there is 4 or 5 kilometres of rural bitumen to get into Murphy's Creek. I manage to beat a coal train and get across the railway and drop in at the tavern. I had to search for my face mask as I've moved into an area coming out of 14 days of restrictions after lockdown, it's due to end tomorrow.
I have a chicken sandwich and called up Lynn who came and picked me up to take me to her place.
She has put me up in a bed in the house but will not be staying as she is having a night out with the girls. So I end up with the run of her house for the night. I even got to relax on the bath. She had also made patty cakes and I managed to polish a few off.
I heated the curry and indulged in a glass or two of port. Had a very relaxing evening watching Chinese movies on SBS. Lynn is very generous with her company and house. Thank you.
