Day 20: rainy

The forecast rain eventuated, and we walked most of the day in light misty rain (or was it rainy mist?). So our wet weather gear and our ability to plod along without seeing too much have both been tested.

Actually, following along the creek sides, sometimes at water level and sometimes high up on the sides of the gorge was quite pretty.

We had lunch under a substantial bridge – so far there have been only a couple of small ones.

I think the reason for the bridge is to prevent disturbance to the habitat of a certain endangered species of toad. Apparently the bullfrog eat the toad tadpoles. Which is rather ironic considering that at home in Australia my sister has been trying to preserve the green tree frogs in her pond from the scourge of the Queensland cane toads!

We passed the 300 mile mark today, and also managed another 20 mile day.
