Another section of the Great North Walk completed this time. This is some distance further north from the Cherry Lane section I did in April this year (2021). The sections between the these two tracks are mostly boring road stages, so I have been avoiding doing them and only doing the interesting bits.
The Lyrebird Track, the first part of today's run, lived up to it's name. I sighted four male lyrebirds today, they where too quick for me to get a photograph.
In December last year (2020) I camped at the Basin Campground on the first night of the this Bike ride . Today I turned back at the Basin Campground, rather than retrace my way out along the walking trail I decided to run/walk up the steep access road to get the main road, Walkers Ridge Road. On the way up, through the trees I got a glimpse of an mangled car. I scrambled through the bush to get to it, it didn't look very old. I started worry what I might find in the wreckage, my concern was unfounded the car had been there a little longer than I initially thought. It had landed here after going over a thirty metre cliff, the main road was above the cliff. I contacted the local police a few days later. They knew about the car, it had been stolen and pushed over the cliff.
Driving through the bush on the way home a pair of feral deer raced across the road just ahead of me, I am not sure what type they were.
