Wed 21Aug2024 starting at the Lynd (well the triangle Roundabout) and getting to…
Last night I started celebrating from what I had learned & participated in, and been “blessed” by, during the last 2 days. After I said goodbye to Dan Condon, and shouted“Yee Har!”, then there was a celebratory cold drink with others there, then a picture of Corey who was with me, now a poem-ish thingo: the ship sails.
Debbie sells me some food to make it to Mt. Garnet and some breaky. I end up bequeathing my lovely folding chair ( given by Kev & Sue, back at Fletcher Creek), to Debbie, who says it would fit in the staff room. Thanks Debbie
and The Oasis Road House, for you supportive attitude and advice, and the lovely meal last night.
Yup the Condon contract crew came as promised around 6:30am, collected the trolley to take up the road around 20km for me, and gave me a lift to the furthest spot on the triangular roundabout that I had been walked to yesterday. Thanks again you folk, and Dan for Hope you enjoyed your lunch.
The fellow with this setup stopped to check I was ok, and especially that I had enough water.
I said yup, ok; and yup, enough water. But thanks for checking.
Thanks to considerate-ness, thoughtfulness and kindness, that showed its true colours through these people today.
I found the trolley left where they said they’d leave it. Thanks to Haley, Marcus. Emily and Tara for your help via carting the trolley. Then I walked for a km or two before stopping around 12:30 for an hour.
Then another 8 km to 8 mile creek. Where I met Ken, & Gail and their ex- show dogs. They helped me find a good tent-site. I washed, collected 10 litres of filtered water & lost one of my thongs down the creek. They gave me a cold drink & charged my phone & asked me over for a wine. Ken went searching down the creek and found my thong. I celebrated with their wine, then they offered a cuppa, then to join them for dinner. Ken shared some of my (pretty dry) rice pudding. Thanks Ken.
We spent an evening together, & had a number of cups of tea. It was very special. And I did a drawing of each of them. Thanks you two. And thank you for your thoughtfulness and clear communication, and for sharing some of the difficulties of life with me, as well as many amazing things. Good night.
Before sunrise I woke thinking of my neighbours beside me, and drew this poem-ish thingo out before the first Kookaburras laughed & I packed to leave; We’dNestDay arvo & after dinner.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to such a lovely arvo & evening. I reckon there were reflections of an invisible someone there.
