Daily distance: 15.7km
Total distance: 812km
Started off a bit later than usual this morning as we only had a short distance to go..... well to be totally honest we actually just wanted to see what the weather was going to do. As it turned out it was overcast but no wind and most importantly no rain.
We headed north out of Wirrabara along the Main North Road for about 4km before we stopped for a break. Walking along a busy main road is not fun and actually very demoralising. Four kilometers later we stopped for a bite to eat at the Warrayong Hall and pistol club. I cant tell you much about Warrayong as that is the extent of it.... a hall..... The trail from there followed farm roads over the hills which lifted the spirits as well as my head.
A few zigs and some zags through the farmlands brought us out about 2km from Murray Town at which stage we turned off the track to head down to the town. Mount Remarkable is looming on the horizon off in the north waiting for us to get to it in a couple of days. As usual the Heysen Trail will, and does, go straight over the top of it..... can't wait!
Murray Town is as big as the first letter of the main... yip one block and we are in the coffee shop (only shop) having a coffee and carrot cake. Perfect little coffee shop (waiting for its liquor licence to become a bar) with a log fire, excellent cake and friendly service. All it needs now is beer and a room and I'd be in heaven!
We have found our camping spot across the road in the footy club stands. Big enough for us to put our tent up under the roof, has a toilet, plug points and is dry. Can't wait for bed.
