5:25am onto the road
After 5 min walking … Shoe problem . Low on bandaids cut a little knot out of the back of my worn sandals to see if that helps i hope the sandals don't faulter on the second last day.
James (based in Cooktown) and Jacob (based in Mosman) stopped to check things out,
and (they saw my support crew about 1km further on from me, so) congratulate me on a walk almost completed, and once again sing the praises of the Mapoon Burger at the Cape Cafe. They are now heading towards Bamagar. Thanks for not only being cops, but being humans! And I hope you have a great day travelling & talking today…
Got in for breaky at 9:30am.. here’s Dave tucking in to porridge…
And Ethan:
and me with my feet up:
Then I walked with Dave, & fell into a little croc-free quarry that had filled with water, & walked wet, the last 3 km..
Santoi met us just after 12noon. He said he saw me a week ago around Archer. And he’s a Torres Strait Islander, an environmental Technician based in Weipa.
He couldn’t stop on the busy road last time, but this road was less busy. Thanks for connecting Santoi.
Lunch break, so we left Dave’s stick ( with a pink ribbon on it) against a guidepost, and drove on another 8 km (& took a quick dip in a local pool)... Cooked up a delicious hamburger each and had a resta till about 4pm. Then Ethan dropped us back to where Dave’s stick was to walk the remaining 8 km to the car…
Signs of coming closer:
And…
Flies follow and come along for the ride:
