Up a bit during night with Ethan’s whooping cough.. breathing problems.. we clean up & talk about ways forward. And adjust our plans for tomorrow.
On the road by ~5:15am.
Breaky with Dave & Ethan at 8:30am at the 10km mark. Ethan then joins me walking for 5 km to the next water spot (no need for a pack now), and then on the next 5 km to the main drag (Weipa-Mapoon road). Then we’ll have a lunch break before I try to get at least 8 more km in this evening.
Soon after 11am, Billy Jo and Michelle (Cook) stop to say G’day and check we’re ok.
Their daughter-in-law just got second prize ($25k) in The Weipa Fishing Classic, and happy as Larry they are off to flick lures hanging out with some Barra, with two other car-loads of friends (following). Thanks for your friendly connecting! And hope you get some Barra for dinner!
Ethan and I listened to some of an Audio-book as we walked, and practiced a trial of doing a group meditation technique as we walked along… mmm it kind of worked. Dave waited 5 km down the road to give us water (two more times) so we didn’t need to take a pack, then we drove 9 km further pitched our camper trailer, and had a big lunch of lamb chops and potato & onion etc… lovely. Then rest until nearly 4 and another walk to get to camp.
