PeninsularDay42(Thurs)
Thursday26Jun’25 from Moreton Telegraph Station camping Grounds on the Wenlock River towards Bramwell Roadhouse…
Up around 5am and hope to be off by 5:30am., but in fact it is 6:15 am by the time i get going
Hope to make the 9km to the truck stopping point on the side of the road (the road is wider every so many km, maybe 25km, for truckers to be able to check loads or take a break) for my breaky stop. Rats! No Muesli bars or toasted Muesli etc.!
About 8:45am Ash & his Dad, & their convoy car following stop as they pass me on the way to the Telegraph track, they (3) do it every year & counsel me against walking it with a trolley. Too much deep mud and water at or over top of tyres.
A couple from Geelong just been to the tip, stop to say G’day for 2 min,
then back on our way ..
Breaky break 9:15am; ~9km so far today… lovely spot.
Then off at 10am..
Richard & Kylie stop and ask similar before lunch, they give me an apple.
Thanks to you generous people. It’s hard to get fruit walking.. (Kylie gave me her blog/Facebook link too)
A couple of hours down the track, after lunch I think, Loz and Trevor from Gippsland meet me heading South, and offer water…
& give me a banana and apple. Thanks you two. Just what I was wishing for… some fruit, & it kept me going…
Karsten & Jack (left to right) stop in their OKA (the only Australian made vehicle nowadays), and offer me a cold refreshing drink… how lovely is that..
5:40pm walking along (with all my company) sharing a cold beverage…
they’ll book me in to camp at the Bramwell Road-house too. I might get in around 8 or 9 pm??? Thanks men.
They think that people might be willing to drop my trolley off 25km down the track on the right…. From what Ash & his Dad told me, it’s only really if that happens, that I think it might be possible. We’ll see..
Woah.. look at that hill coming up… the remaining 14 km and that hill might nock my feet and other parts out for tomorrow… what to do? I decide that if someone comes the same way, and stops, and asks if they can help, I will ask them to let the Roadhouse people I won’t be in till tomorrow.
Britney & Josh come from behind & stop to check if I’m ok
I ask if they are going to Bramwell Roadhouse, and they say “Yes”.
I ask if they could pass on to the owners that (though Karsten & Jack kindly booked me in) I won’t now be there till tomorrow morning. They are happy to. How good is that! Thanks you two!
Oh, after they go, I realized that I should have asked them to pass that on to Karsten & Jack too, so they aren’t wondering what happened to me. Rats! I missed the next car that came along going North, but the one after that was going to the Bramwell Tourist Park, not the Bramwell Roadhouse, so were of no use. I hope Karsten & Jack might imagine what happened, or get a message from the owners/ managers or Britney & Josh, and not stay up late, or come out looking for me,
And….
Thank you to
you know who.
Now I do
what I love to.
Go to sleep
in the keep
of love.
Tent, dinner, wash, Off to bed before 8pm… tired, but tossed and turned till ~11pm.
