Starting Tough
Section 12: Healesville to Omeo 426 kilometres
17 November 2015 to 4 January 2016
D-day. I crawl out of my sleeping bag. We’d set up camp in a shed. It’s still dark and I’ve hardly slept. The air is fresh. I stare at the sunrise in disbelief. It’s so madly beautiful, it fills me with hope. I check my gear and the food rations for the umpteenth time. The weight must be perfectly balanced on the pack saddle before it’s loaded onto Roxanne. The local press and a small group of onlookers surround us.
