Tuesday the 14th of July – Wild River to Irvinebank

Despite having 10 hours of sleep, I’m still tired and could go for some more. This morning a surprise is waiting for me, there is frost outside. That hasn’t happened to me for weeks. Today I’m still feeling weak from yesterday’s sickness. Everything I do is slow, and I even consider staying here for the…

The 8th of July – Kangaroo Hill to Burdekin river

Today is a pretty ordinary day. On my way out I chat with the manager of the station to ask for directions. Between the old maps, the markers and the GPS it’s mostly enough to find my way, but one of them is usually missing or inaccurate. The markers are the best I find. When…

The 7th of July – Zigzag station to Kangaroo Hill

It was a comfortable sleep in one of the bedroom at the Zigzag station homestead. Breakfast is easy with a fully equipped kitchen and there is water available from the rainwater tank. Things that we take for granted in cities are not when travelling in remote country. There is even satellite Internet connection which allows…
