From …New Mapoon (Bond Street) to the Seisha warf where the ferry leaves for Thursday Island (where we are booked to go tomorrow - Friday).
Up around 5:30am join Jo & Karen in their morning routine, including cuppa, quiet, breaky, washing, hang out clothes, then they dropped me in New Mapoon on their way to the Tip of Cape York Peninsula (Pajinka).
Whereupon I walked the ~4 km to the Seisia warf. After the warf (and the loo), I went to the Seisia Kiosk, which then pointed me around the corner to the Seisia coffee shop. There I met Annabelle (and Didi, her friendly pup), we talked about her travels around the world with her hubby… I practiced doing a line portrait of her
Then a lovely lady from Bamagar, () waiting for a coffee, showed me a pic (on Facebook?) of me from the inside of a car passing me… to check if it really was me… (it was!), we talked for a while… then out on the street again, Glennys offered me three little cheese topped rolls left over from her lunch… thanks Glennys, which I munched on as I walked back towards the Loyalty Beach Campsite…
On the way, Tony and Liz from Mackay… stopped to chat and congratulate me.
Thanks for your encouragement. Hope you enjoy this bucket list thing!
Then, Chris (from Frankston in Melbourne Victoria), Mairi, & David (from the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne Victoria), joined me for a photo.
They are here for as long as it takes.. we had a catch up time. How fun. Thanks for taking the time to connect people.
Byron, a local, checked that we were okay, & welcomed us to Loyalty Beach.
Then I made it home, got the washing off the line, and had some beautiful fish and chips for lunch with Joe & Karen. After that we had a quiet Arvo, some resting, keep out of some soft rain, prep for dinner, stoke the cooking fire, cook and have a cuppa while waiting for dinner to cook.. then start writing up blogs for this week…
Met up again with Paul, outside the shower/ loos and talked about ways forward for this country. They went to T.I. today. He gets travell time to listen to the radio and ask questions of people where he goes for work, so he’s always thinking about ways forward. ..
Thanks for your time and willingness to discuss important issues.
And, Stephen from the Northern beaches in Sydney said G’day while we were waiting at the laundry too…
been to the tip today and got bogged, a couple of centirmeters of water inside the car, but got winched out… much got wet… so drying things off.
Thanks for sharing the adventure of life..and making connection.
