Though I was up by 5am, it took an hour to make up for a mistake this morning, so I wasn’t walking on the road till 6:30am. Dave was planning to drive back, give Ethan a bit of a sleep in, then pack up camp, catch me for breaky on the road, and continue into Coen to look for a cabin in a Van Park, or a Pub room, or motel room. Then come back and either camp in our campervan tonight where I get to, or collect me & take me into Coen too.
They come by me around 8:30am.
Breaky… walk… water breaks every ~4 km, still every hour or so someone would stop to check we were ok. We took a 600ml water to share from the last bloke. Thanks everyone for your thoughtfulness of everyone-else on the road. A great morning walking, talking, listening to a small 10 hr. audio-book together by Dallas Willard. And lunch break at ~12:15pm when we reached here:
In Kulpa country. Then we drove a further 8 or 9 km to a spot where we put up the camper for lunch (& the night). Washed/ hung out clothes, had a rest, then after 4 pm we drove back to our last walked to spot to walk back to camp. Ethan has been offering to go 4 km further , where we can get another drink, drop off hats, pick up head torch, and then walk the remaining 4 km to camp, where Ethan would have the water in the kettle ready to put on . We must have had 5 or 6 folk slow down and check that we were ok. And Johnny, near the end offered us a cold drink each, which we eagerly accepted, and finished as we walked into camp. Thanks Johnny!
