Ipswich
Bruce's
Report:
Steve
started
the
walking
section
of
the
journey
today
leaving
the
banks
of
the
Bremmer
River
at
10:15AM.
The
support
crew
drove
the
vehicle
and
trailer
to
the
Ipswich
City
Mall
and
set
up
a
display
for
a
meet
and
greet
with
the
community.
Steve
turned
a
few
heads
as
he
marched
into
the
Mall
towing
his
kayak.
Councillor
Andrew
Antoniolli
from
Ipswich
Council
and
Kirsty
Hogarth
from
Ipswich
Water
met
us
and
Steve
was
able
to
give
them
a
few
tips
in
paddling.
Thanks
go
to
Beata
Hogarth
from
Ipswich
City
Council
for
all
her
work
organising
the
day.
We
were
approached
by
some
very
interested
people
who
added
their
good
wishes
to
the
many
already
received.
One
gentleman
in
particular
had
some
interesting
comments
on
the
situation
out
west.
He
has
just
returned
from
a
trip
and
from
his
observations
it
doesn't
look
like
Steve
will
be
paddling
again
any
time
soon.
During
the
afternoon
Steve
and
Bruce
met
with
Farnie
Swanepoel
from
GLOBAL
Satellite
Phones
and
Data
Communcation
who
are
supporting
the
trip
and
Farnie
presented
the
team
with
a
satellite
phone.
We
thank
them
sincerely
for
their
generous
support.
