The trip is over and we’re back home. Aawwww! (pouting)
While I’m eager to start planning the next trip (and have already been looking at the map – corner country looks good, then down the Strzelecki track) it’s important to look back and see what I’ve learned from doing this without Doc.

We’re back on the Macquarie, camped a few kilometres outside Warren. It must be the Macquarie because there’s water in it, though not nearly as much as there was only recently. The banks are still muddy up to a metre and a half above the current water level. And it’s lined with gum trees, and birds.
A beautiful place to stop and camp.
Except for all those ants – is there 4 square metres of Australian bush that isn’t covered with ants? Even the ash in the old campfire site has ants all over, around and through it. But we set up anyway.
