NSW Days 70 to 72
Thursday 23rd December, 2021 25.8km
4336.7 / 762.2 km
I've decided to go to Adaminaby and hole up so I can video link the family on Christmas day.
The walk follows initially the old trail route down to Shannon's Flat. Then I stick to the road to Adaminaby.

Belinda has found no accommodation as the workers on the new Hydroelectric scheme have booked out everything. They seem to bulk book and the people only know day by day if they are staying. Providence Portal couldn't give me a cabin in advance and could only tell me on the day. As it was I would have rolled up there on Christmas Day with no guarantee of a cabin.

The pub at Adaminaby was booked out by the workers as were all other motel type rooms. It was only the caravan park that kept a check on the workers comings and goings that knew when a cabin was free. Some workers were going away for Christmas but leaving their stuff behind but one bloke was leaving and I was able to get the cabin for 3 nights.
When I rolled up thinking pub dinner, Covid reared it's ugly head again with the pub being shut down due to a Covid case being there. It also shut down the motel units. The coffee shop was also closed and the bakery closed on Christmas eve. So my plan now was to find what I could at the Foodland and cook it myself. The pub shutting also shut the bottle shop, so no port for me.
The caravan park however had good internet and I was able to video call in the morning for present openings and then again when my older children met up for breakfast. It was good to catch up.
My Christmas lunch consisted of sausages, eggs and coleslaw. I did buy myself a fruitcake. My Xmas pudding was in the food bucket at Providence Portal.
I relaxed and watched mindless television. Boxing day I'm on the move again.
