Being the only person in the campground, I had a quiet and peaceful night's sleep. There were no generators or loud TV's or people drinking late.

I had fresh milk in my muesli for breakfast which was a delight. I would later stop at the general store to buy 1ltr of milk so I can do the same tomorrow morning.

I would pass by these two National Parks and Shannon National Park too.

Shortly after this pic, I saw a feral cat. I also saw a feral cat yesterday. They are hard to get pics of because they are so alert.

It's another old fire lookout tree. I couldn't climb this one either because the first 5 metres of the step pegs have been removed.

If I can randomly see 3 feral cats in a day, then this area must be riddled with them.

There are many signs of 1080 baits being laid. They are clearly not working on the cats.

I carried this wine from Pemberton, 93kms away. The snacks I bought in Northcliffe. This is cycle touring glamping.

After making it to the hut, I climbed a big rock.

This rock is significant to Aboriginals. Kindly, they let people climb it. It was cloudy so I didn't get the best view. There is a little phone reception at the top.

This petite flower was growing out of some moss on the top of the rock.

I took the opportunity to check the weather forecast. It is not ideal.

Today's ride: 51 km (32 miles)
Total: 5,483 km (3,405 miles)
