Day 197 Mt Werong camp

Onto Book 10
 NSW Day 55 (197) Tuesday 7th December, 2021 19.4km

3969 / 1102.2 km


I got up early as I had long road walk today. Most of this to Canberra is much the same by the look of it.

The pack hurts on my hips. I'm trying different things but I seem to be making it worse. I do get it in a comfortable position but that only lasts about 30 minutes. Slows the day down a lot as I can't just quickly adjust but have to undo it and then readjust.

I was following the road and decided to drop down a fire trail to a creek. A bit of a climb out but it was a welcome change from the road.
As thunder was rolling across I got to the camp area.

Along the road

Down the road

Over the road

There were only light showers up till then. I was able to get under cover but lack of maintenance meant that when the rain poured it rained just as much under the back verandah as it was outside.

There were leaks everywhere and the room I had picked looked like it was going to flood with the water not getting draining away. I got up on the roof and cleared the gutter which helped.

I don't know what the story is with the stone hut. It is fairly modern. There was information on Ruby Creek mine but not so much about the hut. They also say not to camp in the hut but I'll beg forgiveness later.






Walked down a fire trail just to get to a creek.
Had to climb a hill to get back out though

Set up inner in this room. More light here.
Although it did smell a little. But I do to.
