First things first, why is this shit taking so long to load? I used to watch netflix on 3g but now it's become third world.

Today I got up at 5:30 to pack up early. After the ride in yesterday I needed to prepare. A lovely neighbour came past that early and invited me to breakfast. I should mention that at that time it was very very dark. I know this because I walked down to the water, 50 metres away, and on the way back I got lost. Badly. I honestly could've been wandering the place for hours. I happen to turn around and my bike reflected so well that I found my way back from 100s of metres away. The Grove is huge!

I went to lawn Hill gorge and it was exactly as nice as you'd think. I paddled through and thought it was the actual Australia. The one we sell to the world. It just looked so good. No dickheads around. Just real and very unique beauty.

Then something hit the water hard. I paddled to the other side of the river and a couple of rocks landed a few feet around. As I got to the other side I could see a man above, at the top of the gorge throwing rocks at me. He was probably in his 50s and he waved vigorously when I got to a point where I could see him. I hope he dies soon.

Anyway I went back to Adels for petrol and met the Dutch girls from Cooktown. They let me in front to get some fuel and I set off on what I thought would be the worst 6 hours of my. It turns out it was only 5 hours. It was 1 1/2 to Rivers Leigh on a road that was way, way, way better Ryan yesterday. At rivers Leigh there were fossils from ancient mammals. The coolest thing was that they were right there in the rock where they died. Not a museum. Giant weird crocodiles and massive cassowaries. 300kg things.

After the fossils, the dirt was good. I fanged it hard on that good dirt. Proper hard too like a person who knows what they're doing. It was still ages of dirt. I ran out of petrol 700 metres away. I had to get the jerry can off the back, which means untying everything. I opened the tank and there were litres in there but my. Tank was out. I need to fix that. If I'm 8n real trouble I'll know that I have petrol  to drink at least.

I'm going to bed now. Sorry about no photos,
