Saturday 28th August - Wednesday 1st September, 2021
After deciding to get picked up I have spent a week at cousin Janet's house. We have talked a lot when you can get any sense out of her. She likes ouzo. I was going for a port night but had to pull up short as she also likes port. The only thing safe around her were salt and vinegar chips. Although I heard they were good dunked in ouzo and coke. Thank you Janet for your generous hospitality and putting up with me 
I did keep walking, doing up to 10 kilometres a day going down to the shops and back. The new suburbs here are lacking soul and are a drab grey. There is so much rubbish on the footpaths and roads. I walked different paths to the shops and got a feel for Redbank Plains. I'm lucky I suppose to be able to live where I do.
Many plans were hatched as I watched the news. In the end it was decided that myself, Belinda and Isabelle will meet in the Northern Territory and holiday together towards the end of September. If I go home I can get there via the NT provided I spend 14 days there. WA has the NT at a level where Belinda can return without quarantine. So provided things don't change we will see each other in about 3 weeks.
So I will walk the rest of the way to Killarney them make my way to the NT. I booked the camps along the scenic trail in the Main Range National Park which will add 4 days to the walk. I have to go back to Thornton/Laidley Gap for the start and walk a out 7 kilometres down the Cunningham Highway on day 4 to pick up the national trail again. This gets me to Killarney about the 9th September which is 1 day before NSW, in theory, opens up from lockdown in the country areas but as I'm heading to the NT it's not important and I won't be looking at crossing till early October now so I will worry about that later.
So provided Qld and NT don't have outbreaks we have plan 2344 to follow.
