Unkempt Braidwood

1 PM

Just arrived. The Shoalhaven camping grounds are run down and overgrown. Looks like some permanents are back and they’re not pretty. Could be a tough night from generators.

And the flies are atrocious.

Windy, shown in these stunning clouds westward.

Earlier

Left Waldren’s about 6.30AM, so about two hours after final waking. Into the Bay for breakfast, oil and windscreen concentrate, and unshowered decided to get Australia Post over and done with.

Been dreading it since Samantha. Stressed as heck in line. But I got my parcel without a problem from anyone and was pleased to get away. That’s a load off so far. Terribly run that place.

Shower, and groceries and left about 11.39AM. Awful wind on the road; took it easy.

Even if there are generators it’ll be good to have a break from the coast. The personalities make it unpleasant after a while. Last night no tent bloke so it was a pleasant morning too.

7 PM

I heard from Australia Post. Just ignore anything they want. No sense of accountability whatsoever. I sent a reply asking yet again for actual answers.

After dinner I heard a crunching noise. Right there outside my open door, a fox. Old, I think, and rheumy sadly.
