Walking
towards
Glenmorgan
Bruce's
Report:
I
dropped
Steve
back
at
the
river
crossing
where
he
finished
the
night
before
and
he
set
off
walking
the
back
roads
towards
Glenmorgan.
Kerrie
and
I
broke
camp
and
filmed
interviews
with
Bill
Powers,
the
SES
controller
for
Condamine
and
Elizabeth,
a
farmer
who
served
up
a
delicious
lunch
of
hot
lamb
sandwiches.
Both
were
concerned
about
the
failing
health
of
the
river.
As
we
headed
out
to
pick
Steve
up
a
very
friendly
policeman
pulled
up
behind
us
and
chatted
about
the
trip.
He
was
very
interested
in
the
message
of
the
trip
having
seen
Al
Gore's
movie
"An
Inconvenient
Truth."
We
caught
up
with
Steve,
picked
him
up
and
took
him
to
Glenmorgan
one
teacher
school
for
a
chat
with
the
kids.
Peter
Brown
and
partner
Jenny
met
us
and
we
proceeded
to
Woodlands,
the
property
of
Bill
and
Pam
Stallman
where
we
were
put
up
in
luxurious
accommodation
for
the
next
two
nights.
Peter
Brown
is
a
magnificent
cook
and
a
delightful
evening
was
spent
discussing
various
topics,
eating
a
delicious
seafood
gumbo,
sipping
some
very
nice
wines
and
enjoying
the
excellent
company.
