Back Out Of Canberra

I moved toward the next stop with the day's people, support, and small human moments giving the kilometres their shape.

Back Out Of Canberra: part of the day's stretch toward the next stop.

The pause had done its job, and then I had to step back into the rhythm of walking again.

the next stop was where we were aiming, but the bigger feeling was that another distant name was becoming real under my feet.

I probably haven’t said this for a while, probably because it has become the “norm” for me to be surrounded by natural beauty, however…

Australia really is a massive, diverse and incredibly beautiful place.

I know for sure that I am privileged to see so much, in so much detail, and there are moments, natural light shows, reactions or curiosity of animals, the magnificence of hills or the beauty of a stark foggy landscape - moments that inspire me, keep me going, lift my spirits.

That gave me another 54.2 kilometres, and the accumulated total sat at 4201.6 kilometres.

That was the shape of so many HAA days: my feet doing the obvious work, and other people quietly making the impossible parts practical.
