Last night after I hoped into bed early, 4 young guys arrived. They were on a weekend trip from Jarrahdale. They were nice and kept to themselves. I guess they've seen many cyclists on the trail and are bored with the usual conversion.

It was very cold last night. I guess it was 0 degrees. My water bottle didn't freeze.

The lighter and the metho was very difficult to light.

I saw several trees with the bark rubbed off. I guess it's feral deer, I'm not sure?

The day started with a gentle down hill.

Firewood collectors didn't take all of this timber because it had knots and would be hard to split.

I would see a total of 14 vehicles out collecting wood this morning. Some of them blocked the path completely. I didn't mind. I used to collect firewood a long time ago.

This sign prohibits many things yet firewood collecting must be okay.

I definitely prefer the sound of red-bellied black cockatoos over the noise of chainsaws.

She oaks.

I entered this park. There were a couple trail bikes ignoring this sign.

I had a veggie burger for lunch at Jarrahdale and thought about stopping for the day. There is limited accommodation options and I still had all afternoon so I continued on.
