Day 5 walking

On the way out of Judbury was offered a real coffee & a muffin, followed by hot pumpkin bread & butter by Conny from Horse Haven Farm Stays, who has done much of the Tasmania Trail herself on horse-back. A lovely welcoming place, there was conversation all the while with Conny who has lived in Australia for about 36 yrs, from Germany, her daughter Ilea(?) & Marco a Wwoof-er from Italy(?). People of peace, it seems. Left Conny's place just before mid-day & went up to White Timber Mountain, cold, wet, steep, rougher near the top, but still driveable by a car. Pitched the tent as it got dark, got a fire going for 20 min (which the cold rain and freezing wind put out).Slept for a couple of hours, and thought (& nibbled) for the rest, freezing in the tent.
