A deserved rest!
MONDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2008
I forgot to mention yesterday that we saw our first snake, probably a tiger snake but could have been a brown snake, about a metre long, and came within about 5 metres of us, so that was pretty exciting!
We camped at Big Ben last night, it was really windy so we pulled up 12kms short so we wouldn't be heading towards the wind. That meant we had about 60kms to paddle today. We set off at about 8am after getting up at 6.20am, and we got here at 7.40pm tonight. It was a big day, and we had a head wind against us nearly all day long!
Very quiet morniing, I don't think either Patto or I spoke until after lunch because we were so tired! We stopped at Walkers Flat for lunch and then headed to Teal Flat, at Aunty Barb and Uncle Col. I'm having a bit of a rest here which is great!!
I passed 2000 km's today, so I've paddled 2,048 km's, which is huge. I'm really sore so this rest will do me the world of good before the big paddle at the weekend!
No phone reception or emails, so very hard to contact in this area!
