Tree down

Arose reasonably early and started the walk to Wallerawang. The niggles are annoying and I should probably slow down and let my body repair. Having discussed it with Belinda I've decided to keep going to the end and not going back to WA for Christmas. I'll spend Xmas and New Year up the Snowies somewhere.

4wd carve up

I got a bit lazy last night and didn't filter my water. I did get it from the creek, looked clean, but I'm not feeling good in the belly this morning. I should have been more careful here with all the rubbish around the camp spot. I've got to think better, especially when tired.

The first thing to do is walk up the track which is carved up and muddy by 4 wheel drivers and water running down the road like a river. The trail climbs up and passes through Baal Bone Gap. Now the only Baal I know is the God of fertility. Baal Bone???.hmm.

The track through Baals Gap

Then it's a climb down to a bitumen road and then the plod to Wallerawang. I got there just in time with my belly not liking the day at all and the best thing for me was a porcelain bowl.

I went back to the Commercial Hotel where my car is. I will zero here tomorrow and clean up. I have to talk to the managers that have taken over as of the 1st of December. I'm going to try and leave my car here for the next leg. 16 days should get me to Canberra. It will feel good to rest a bit.
