| Me at the memorial |
Sunday 22nd August, 2021 11.2km2654.8 / 2444.1km
The day was to start a little late as I was going to get a ride out if Toowoomba by John, the section co-ordinator.

| Lovely houses on ridge |
He asked me for a photo at the R M Williams memorial so I decided that was where I would start walking from. That means I missed a 30k section from Murphy's Creek. But I'm ok with that. I just rearranged it a little with a trip up the range and through Toowoomba.
When I lived in Toowoomba I always wanted a house on the ridge line. As do a lot of people I suppose and that's why it is so expensive. Walking along the Preston Boundary Road I saw more houses on Ridge lines but none for sale. I did divert up Gormans Gap Rd to look at the monument. There were more large homes with expansive views.

| These people will have a beautiful view |
The trail continues on Preston Boundary Rd past rural properties and there is one that looked like an old mine or quarry that had a lot of old equipment placed around the yard. I didn't see anything that would invite a person onto the property so I just had to look from the roadside.
The trail then descends the range on Rockmount Rd. Not sure how people with horses handle this as it is narrow.

| History |
I decided I wasn't going far and the pack with 9 days supplies is not light. Nearly at the base the Trail people have arranged a spot on private property next to some Yards. I had rang the owner earlier and got there just after lunch.
This allowed me to have a nap. It's interesting I don't sleep well on my zero days in town. I do manage to sleep at the earliest convenience when walking.
Had a good nights sleep as well. With the full moon it was very bright all night. A couple of horses came to visit in the night too.
