Day 4 (Thursday 28 September 2017)

Well, after a late night the night before (going to a couple of hospitals with a bite of some description on my middle toe of the left foot; spreading a red swelling) we slept until about 9 o'clock.

We breakfasted checked the washing & left by about 10:30am to arrive at our Finishing Point from yesterday (about maybe a hundred metres South of the gates of the Wilsons Promontory National Park). Katrina  left and went off to explore for the day we started the walk, about 10:50am, had 10 minutes together till 11am, then had our 1hr. of solitude. I walked ahead singing out loud etc with the trangia & metho to setup morning tea. When the hour was up I could just see the outskirts of a little village ahead of us Yanakie. It had been raining on and off with gusty cold winds so I thought that if we could make it to a warm coffee shop that might be nice. It is Greg's birthday, today he turns 43 so I ordered two cappuccino's and a pizza. They said they would make the Grego's coffee when he arrived. I texted him to tell him where we were and 10 minutes later he sauntered  in & we had our coffees & half a pizza together. We kept the other half for lunch, said thank you and moved on. The antibiotics I have for my toe have to be taken half an hour before a meal, so at 2:15 I had one and then we stopped for lunch at 2:45. Then we walked on until 4-ish and rang Katrina. She picked us up on the corner of Savage Road and the road we were on to Fishcreek. Then we drove into Fishcreek and had a coffee and cake to celebrate Greg's birthday and drove back to the Yanakie caravan park where we're spending the night again.

Katrina: today was very touristy: I saw some waterfalls, a Museum (on the history of Foster - it was very interesting) and Port Welshpool.
