Do I feel any better?
Not really, nothing's changed. Moving on and should be in Toowoomba in 2 or 3 nights. That was supposed to be one of my major breaks with a car shuffle down to Niall setting out my food drops to at least Aberdeen in NSW then bus back and walk.
A bad nights sleep but out of the wind at least. There is a lot of mouse poo in the hut so I hung my pack with everything in it from the rafters.
The donkey gave an early morning bray, not as musical as a Kookaburra, just as effective though.
The trail goes from the hut up the fence line to the main road then up an old lane way called Saughterhouse Rd. The old buildings I pass, I assume is an old abattoir.
The view |
The trail then climbs the old road alignment to pick up some side roads up the hill.
Then its a matter of sitting on a trail that runs parallel to the main road through the state forest. It has a few more ups and downs than the main road but is much quieter and picturesque.
Into the forest |
When that runs out I looked back at a sign telling me not to enter the forests as harvesting is in progress. I did see signs of activity and heard machinery working bit it was a little way off the trail. One more up and over a quieter road before finally walking the rest of the way dodging traffic on the main road into Ravensbourne.
Hardenbergia and ?? |
I'm having a little trouble with my solar panels, I hope its just a glitch as some of the longer and remoter sections of the trail are coming. The phone battery is only lasting about a a day and a half since the last update.
Granite Marker |
Hole for loggers to insert board to stand on |
That's the roof of the tennis court building. I camped to the right just on the edge of the trees. |
