Westward, to a night spent beneath a million million stars
John has left the East Coast of Australia!
He pushed on from Townsville today, making the turn westward towards Charters Towers.
Keeping him company on the road are four-tralier road-trains… something difficult to imagine for those of us from the Southern states!
After pushing Cooee on foot on a particularly long (5 km) uphill stretch of the highway across the Mingela ranges, he has set up tonight’s camp atop the ancient mountains. The night is expected to be quite cold, but he is prepared. Apparently the Milky Way is extraordinarily bright and expansive above him!
Tomorrow, he expects to reach Charters Towers.
