On
the
Road
to
Dirranbandi
Bruce's
Report:
Cold
but
clear.
Steve's
on
the
road
and
we
are
chasing
up
gear.
The
new
windscreen
finally
turned
up
and
........
it's
the
wrong
size.
The
new
bearings
turned
up
and
for
a
second
day
in
a
row
were
.....
the
wrong
size.
Fortunately
the
apple
slice
at
the
bakery
was
......
just
the
right
size.
While
having
a
coffee
I
thought
of
Steve
slogging
it
out
along
the
wet
dirt
road
into
a
very
lazy
southerly.
He
rang
in
on
the
satellite
phone
at
midday
and
he's
doing
well.
(I
didn't
mention
the
apple
slice.)
Picked
Steve
up
at
4:45PM
after
30.5
km
of
walking
and
paddling
in
some
large
holes.
He
decided
that
a
warm
fire,
barbeque
and
good
company
at
the
Kamarooka
Caravan
Park
was
too
good
to
miss.
He'll
test
the
gear
in
the
field
tomorrow
night.t
Steve's
Report:
Tough
day
today.
8
1/2
hours
slog
through
roads
that
made
the
kayak
hard
to
pull
plus
6km
on
a
waterhole
that
was
supposed
to
be
a
lot
longer.
Total
was
only
30.5km.
There
was
a
strong
headwind
and
white
caps
on
the
river
(brown
caps
actually).
