42km. Beer count 9? Started the morning early rifling through rubbish bins looking for soft drink cans I could turn into an alcohol stove. My wood burning stove fan still won’t work, so I went to the Seisia store and bought some metho. With my cut up soft drink can I managed to make a working alcohol stove, and cooked breakfast. Then this delayed packing up and leaving, but when I left I rode in the rain to Bamaga. I got more supplies at the supermarket, then went to the Post Office and collected the new inner tubes that Judy had posted me. I unloaded the bike in front of the PO and changed the front tube for the new one, and tossed out the dodgy repaired inner tubes.
I was then finally off rather late. The start of the Pajenka road to the tip was pretty corrugated, but after the Croc Tent, it got smooth, and not very busy. It was an uphill ride through thick rainforest, then a descent to Pajenka, which seemed to be mostly some abandoned buildings. It was get late, so I rode past the no vehicles on beach sign, because, well a bicycle isn’t a vehicle, and rode down the beach. I found a campsite close to dark that was infested with mozzies and midges or sandflies, so no dinner tonight. Tomorrow I will go to the tip, about 1.5km away.
The Place seems to be Nothing but creeks and Rivers JUST keep on Peddling the END is in sight I think.
