May 6: \u201cCintra\u201d near WERRIS CREEK TO CAROONA<\/p>\n
My calculations of time and kilometers were a little out yesterday.\u00a0 I was riding by 8am yesterday but still didn\u2019t reach Werris Creek til 3pm with only a very short horse watering stop over at Carabubula, so\u00a0 my 25 kms day as per itinerary was really by the time I got to \u201cCintra\u201d more like a 40km day. Wrangler who is experiencing the joys of being a pack horse at the moment was not impressed. The vibes he was sending out yesterday were like, \u201cthis is not what I signed up for Maura!\u201d I told him that if I can\u2019t quit nor can he! Toughen up Princess!<\/p>\n
Had a great night with Tony and Lyn Windsor at their property \u201cCintra\u201d outside \u00a0of Werris Creek. \u00a0Tony is a Federal Independent MP whose electorate runs from here to the QLD border over 400kms. Lyn is a teacher at Werris Creek Public School where I was scheduled to present \u201cMela-What?\u201d yesterday at 2pm, but didn\u2019t arrive til 3 so am going back in this morning with my horses for a 9am presentation, then heading out to Caroona. Will have about five hours of riding today and the time at the school, all going well.\u00a0 That positively feels like a \u2018short\u2019 day! Every day has been massive, long, late, hard\u2026..keep thinking it\u2019s gotta start and get easier\u2026.but I\u2019m still waiting! I miss my road crew from the bike ride, having a back up crew makes things so much easier logistically and of course having people I love with me that I can yarn with! Am missing my family like crazy, having said that Esther will be calling in on her way back to Wagga, next week, I have been trying to talk her into coming with me without luck! On the bike ride had Joe with me all the way, this time he will be having a week with me around Naranderra in early June, then back again for the last week of trek. Long time between Joe fixes for me.<\/p>\n
Woke up about an hour ago (2.30am) couldn\u2019t sleep, but with only a little over an hour til I have to get up for the day am gonna have a \u2018nana nap\u2019 now til the alarm goes off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
