Hi wonderful people, after a good nights sleep we said farewell to Paul and Jenny and at 5am headed towards Wondoan. As usual it was so good to be walking as the dawn came. Bindi had new shoes and after the initial strange walk was trotting along at a good pace. Today saw me struggling a little up two rather big inclines, and my shins began to give me a little trouble, It was extremely hot by 8.30 am and Bindi started to slow down again, her little legs struggling to keep up. Potts made her a cute little carrying pouch out on a flag he found along the road and gave her a spell on and off during the morning. We crossed over the great dividing range then downhill and out into the open where there were no trees for shade for about 5 klms. We eventually came across one tree, and stopped for a late breakfast. Not a lot further on our host for the night Dale caught up with us and took Bindi and Potts’ pack for the last few klms. When we arrived at Dales home his wife Lyn had a great baked dinner waiting for us. After a rest Dale then took us to see the pipe line being constructed on his property. There has been almost no work done since before Christmas due to problems with the welding on the pipes, they are waiting for new welding gear to come from US. Some farmers have had many problems with the hold up as the pipline is still above the ground and it has dived their herds and hampered there ability to keep the cattle together. The pipe should have been underground in 2 to 3 weeks and it is now almost 3 months, It was early to bed after another great meal.
