Day 3: Pottsville to Brunswick Heads

The days are getting tougher to start that's for sure! With a sore left ankle and several blister the first few km's out of Pottsville were hard going. It was difficult to find any kind of rhythm and I was hoping that every bend in the road ahead was the half may mark at Wooyong. Several times I was left disappointed only to find the road meanering on. Slowly I found some rhythm and made it to the half way mark as planned.

The next half of the leg was by far the most enjoyable part as I trekked through an old bush track the cut its way through the coastal heath and dunes towards Brunswick Heads. Golden Banksias were still in flower along with the occaisonal wattle and wild flower. Perched high in old casurina a sea eagle watched on at one point and finches and honey eaters seemed to follow me for most of the walk through the Billinudgel nature reserve. After leaving Pottsville at 6am I was very glad to stumble into Brunswick Heads around 1130am. A huge thank you to all of the amazing staff at the Brunswick Hotel who put me up for the night.

Tomorrow... byron bay. Can't wait to get there and take a day to restock, rest and recover for then the next leg to Yamba.
