If you want to make your holidays stretch out, go for a long walk. It’s hard to believe that it has only been two days.
We started the day at Bathurst Public School. The student leadership team all turned up in the cold (it was about 1 degree) to see us off. They were joined by several committee members from the Bathurst Relay for Life Kylie, Harold (who grows daffodils in old boots prepared and painted at Bathurst Gaol) and Ellen and Graham, a local councillor and teacher at Kelso High. The Principal and a number of staff turned up and we promoted Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Bathurst School were having theirs today and they also had a mufti day to support the Relay. They were sending their money off when I spoke with Miss White this afternoon.
The Relay committee members and Graham walked as far as Kelso school with me before I set off for Lithgow. We stopped on the way to do an interview with 2BS about the walk and the work of the Cancer Council. What a great send off!
A couple of wonderful things happened along the way. A generous couple stopped as they passed me and ran across the road to make a donation to the Cancer Council. What a kind gesture. Fortunately neither of us got run over in the process. I also did another interview with 2BS and lined one up for tomorrow with 2LT.
Jan went ahead and when she saw Meadow Flat Public School she dropped in to say hello. The whole school came out to say hello as I passed. Just over thirty students from Kindergarten to Year Six and the two teachers shook my hand and wished me well.
Lunch was a pie from a service station. When it takes two hours to walk to the next place you take what you can get.
I passed over the two highest points in my walk. There was a huge accident on the second one about an hour after I walked over. It is important to be as safe as I can at all times.
Oops: low battery. More tomorrow.
