Day 28
22 km
Cum 575 km
Camped: No camping- Pemberton
Today was still a pretty hilly day, not as bad as yesterday, still a good workout. The weather was great though- sun out and just a few clouds.
Lots of fallen trees, much like yesterday, so made for extra obstacles.
The karri trees are pretty impressive, when you can spot them through the undergrowth , which is fairly thick.
I got to the Beedelup waterfall before midday and checked it out from the look out. Decent amount of water- as can be expected with the rain.
From here I back tracked to Karri Valley Resort, where the plan was to meet Lucy for a pick up. However no sign of her, and she was due there an hour before I got there. So I order lunch at the restaurant, ate, and still nothing. I had messaged her with my progress and got nothing back. Maybe she just headed home?
By 13h30 I decided to make my way to the highway for a hitch. I got a hitch to the highway, as it was a bit of a walk, and then luckily , the guy who was fixing the coffee machine in the restaurant appeared and gave me a ride to Pemberton! Yay!! When there I got a call from Lucy explaining all the fuck around with her not having had signal and driving to the pick up twice!!! Oh no!
All this was for me to miss the next 2 days of heavy rain that’s coming. I also missed the last section between Beedelup camp and Pemberton , which I’ll try and do as a day walk and get a ride back or vice versa.
In the afternoon I had a shower, did the washing and picked up a few groceries. Lucy and I then drove to Big Brook Dam, lovely little spot.
