Cold Cold start to the day. I had all my walking clothes on. Thats a merino thermal shirt, My normal shirt and my rain jacket. I was itching to start walking to warm up.
As I finished packing I noticed I had only one glove. I must have picked it up when packing. A quick scramble through failed to find it but I was confident I had it as I check the ground before I go and if it isn't on the ground it must be in the pack. Which was the case when I unpacked this evening. It was inside the sleeping bag. I missed that glove as the day wore on. I was going to get out a sock to put on my left hand at one stage.
Breakfast was down an erosion gully where I found a spot out of the wind. A lot of gravel road walking for the first part of the day. Then a fence walk. The most interesting bit was a creek crossing that had a lot of erosion and the banks were a lot of different clay. Played a little with it and wondered if it was useful. Couldn't work out why the erosion on this river bank was so extensive. A long walk up a fence line and then over a couple of hills to Buckeringa campsite.

Only 19 kilometres today and I was glad to get the tent up and in it to warm up. It had been overcast all day till I had the tent up and then the sun came through. The phone said it was 7 degrees. Didn't take any gear off all day even on the hills. Heard some explosions this afternoon. Either a war has started or there is a mine somewhere. Hoping for some kind weather tomorrow as I climb over Mt Arden and get phone signal there. The wind apparently chases most people off fairly quickly.
