Only a short walking day today spending the first half of the day jumping ahead to the town of Ouse, thanks Paul, including picking up resupply boxes. One box I sent ahead for later use and the other one I stocked up on and sent any extras home.

I started walking  around 1:30pm and travelled just over 9km to the other side of the Derwent River. This involved road walking because my other option was to cross a river and given that all the waterways are very up in level, this wasn’t an option and not safe. As such I’m finding myself doing a bit of a choose your own adventure on this trip.

After crossing the single lane bridge over the Derwent I was almost going to camp just of the road. Luckily I decided to press on and found a formal campsite complete with picnic shelter and toilets only a few hundred metres away. Great campsite but as I discovered it was noisy due to the frogs, the swans and a possum that was eyeing my tent off for through the night.
