Another early rise as a 30 k + day to do. I don't mind so much if the first couple of k's are a road walk as it means the hour till daylight and the looking for signs in scrub is not as much of a problem. Although the brand new signs glow in the torch light. But they are not all new.
The walk finally leaves the bare paddocks and goes through the Carooma Creek Conservation park. This is a reclaimed old station and the gorge used to have a road built through it and you can see the effects of the feral goats in the hills. But at least is was something else to look at.
The walk at the back end of the park is through some scrub bt at least its not sheep paddocks. From the start of the Conservation Park you can see the rain hasn't passed too far over Mt Bryan. It is very dry. Then like always the interest ends and back on a fence line kicking aside sheep shit.
I made the Carooma Creek shelter by about 10.30am and decided to push on to the Black Jack Hut The Carooma shelter has been rebuilt by the Parks and Wildlife people to a decent size. It would have been one of the better stops, however in July they had dropped a new/old donga that was donated to the friends of the Heysen at Black jack so at least there is a room with a door.
Not much else to say today and I think I may be getting a bit jaded without having a rest as I am just getting in a walking zone and covering as much ground as possible. When I look at the lack of photographs I can tell I wasn't paying much attention to what was going on around me.
