20 February
Rise and shine it’s a brand new day!
The lake looks gloomy in the early light. Weed encroaches on much of the perimeter, so no early swims here.
We wave out to the camp caregiver as we exit onto SH3 once again. Though the campground suited our basic needs as trampers, its appearance is looking tired and run down. The entranceway could do with a revamp starting with the removal of a large dead tree. It’s so easy to fix up someone else’s place, than it is your own.
No dramas along the highway. Roadworks had a lollipop operator calling out to us across the road ‘Where you guys from?’ When we threw back across ‘Cape Reinga’. His eyebrows lifted and he exclaimed with astonishment ‘Oh…mean as!’ Somehow, I don’t think he expected that reply.
The township of Bulls was bustling. Numerous trucks thundered along the street and a number of classic muscle cars were making their way through also.
After browsing the various signs with ‘bull’ as a play on words, we grabbed a feed and restocked other food items. Hmmm… glizzies for dinner - pork and apple.
Back on the TA trail out of town and 10 kms later we are relaxing in a lovely reserve called Mt Lees.
A 25km day complete. We even wore our old shoes. Gaffer tape now covering some of the widening holes in their sides.
