Peninsula: Day 25 (including some of the rest day in Weipa) from where I got to at Breakfast time yesterday… to 16.4 km closer to Mapoon…

Sunday 08/06/25


Ethan had another difficulty breathing attack around 2 am… we did some internet searching… we think it is probably Hopping Cough, and he’s probably had it for more than 3 weeks so is probably over the infectious stage, so we’ll have a go at going to the St.Luke’s Anglican/Uniting church at 9:15am. The paster Jo. was very welcoming yesterday on the phone. 


It ended up that we got to St. Luke’s and met about 16 or so folk, in a very welcoming family atmosphere, centred about loyalty to Yeshua bar Natzareth as the one christened as High King to whom all authority has been given over the Heavens and the Earth.


Jo (the pastor) & Karen were newly wedded.

They asked us to tell something of what we’d learned on the walk, so we did… and brought greetings from the local “family” group which two of us are part of in Orange, and I took notes on Jo’s exhortation to us…

They offered us lunch, which we contributed to from our car, and played the piano and drew a picture of one of the kids (Abi).


Felt like we had caught up with family.


Leo, a medico gave us some advice for Ethan, which was helpful, 


and his phone number to contact him on Thursday, before Ethan flies out that Arvo if it worsens. If it works I might get a coffee in with Jo on Thursday when I take the lads to their respective planes too.



Then we drive back to the road where my support crew picked me up yesterday, and set up camp 16.4km in front of my ending point, so that they can drop me (us) off & I (we) can walk into camp tonight. Then I can walk on in the morning and try for 10km, then breaky, then 10km, then lunch, then set up camp 10 km further on, for me to walk into by night. That should leave a 25-30km day for Tuesday and a 10-15 km day on Wednesday….
