Start:  Nabiac Finish:  Taree Distance:  18 Total:  818 Today was a challenge with the weather. I continue to be frustrated with the inaccuracy of the forecast, though it really doesn’t matter in the big scheme of things if the forecast is right or wrong; I’m going to get out on the road and walk regardless.  … Continue reading »

Start:  Coolongolook Finish:  Nabiac Distance:  11 Total:  800 I had an easy walking day up the freeway today. Only 11 miles to cover on a Sunday morning with almost no trucks to deal with.   Harry Wright, the motel manager here in Bulahdelah, drove me 18 miles north to the town of Coolongolook, dropping me … Continue reading »

Start:  Bulahdelah  Finish:  Coolongolook Distance:  18 Total:  789 I had a good, uneventful 18 mile stroll up the freeway today followed by motel manager Harry picking me up and bringing me back to Bulahdelah for another night.  The day got started once again with breakfast purchased from the gas station across the road. Give me … Continue reading »

Start:  Bulahdelah  Finish:  Bulahdelah  Distance:  0 Total:  771 What a restful day I had today. I just hung out around the motel most of the day with my feet propped up and relaxed.  My day started with a 50 yard walk across the road to the gas station for breakfast. You can use your imagination … Continue reading »

Start:  Karuah Finish:  Bulahdelah Distance:  27 Total:  771 Today was a very difficult day. 27 miles is certainly near the limit of how far I can walk. Add to that the fact that it rained the last 19 miles so I was wearing my parka and getting blasted by road spray on the highway. The … Continue reading »

Start:  Raymond Terrace Finish:  Karuah Distance:  18 Total:  744 Today was forecast to be a hot one. So I did all I could to beat the heat and get to my destination as quickly as I could.  Last night I saw the forecast; mid-90s for a high with no clouds until after 2:00. So I … Continue reading »

Start:  Newcastle  Finish:  Raymond Terrace Distance: 15 Total:  726 As I have mentioned in previous posts, because I use Google Maps to plan my route, and I have no prior knowledge of the local area or road conditions, it’s really a complete surprise everyday what situation I will find myself walking in. Today I don’t … Continue reading »

Start:  Swansea Finish:  Newcastle  Distance:  15 Total:  711 Happy Super Bowl Monday everyone!  Not such a big deal in the land down under. However, one of the major TV networks did carry the game live, even though it was in the middle of the day on Monday here.  I had a good day walking on … Continue reading »

Start:  The Entrance Finish:  Swansea Distance:  24 Total:  696 After a good nights rest I got up and started early today because of the distance I needed to walk. Lucky for me the weather was good with clouds and temps in the low 80s.  I left the motel at 7:15 and stopped at a cafe … Continue reading »

Start:  Palm Beach Finish:  The Entrance Distance:  18 Total:  672 Today’s journey took a little longer than most 18 mile days because I had to take two ferry’s and the bus so it wasn’t just a normal get out there and walk kind of day.  The day began at 7:45 when I caught the bus … Continue reading »
