This goat just stared at me, at Twin peaks,the Cliff top. the next peak it ran and stared at me. A Cashmire goal. Very weird. so I thought I would walk along the river. So stupid, I struggled over blackberries, got ripped to shreds. . At twin peaks, it was so loud, The river, but I wanted to live, so headed East. I thought "hey no worries" Coppins Crossing is only 15 minutes. I walked to the road and it took me 4 hours.
In the bow: I saw 3 rainbow beeaters, 3 swallows, 1 dollarbird.
 
Walking up Coppins Crossing Rd, some guy stopped.
Said ':what are you doing here you Mad bastard!' He had a moter scooter. I thought- Yeah-maybe your are right.
Her gave me a lift home.

On the Blitz day I woke late. 2 pm, but hey, why not. My goal was Lower Molonglo. I wended my way through The Pinnacle To get to Kama- Hoping I could Join join the FOG group/ excursion- I was wrong.  I followed their trails, initially right- then I realised they were Cow prints. I then followed their prints East. There seemed to be 1 on the right, 2 on the left, I followed until the dam in Kama, then I lost the trail. There were 12 choughs, plus 6 superb parrots flew over.
.
I headed South- the River allured.
On reaching Molonglo in Flood, it roared. I followed the Trail NW, It was so weird, at one point, At a bridge.  Double bars, and Swallows nesting underneath, I walked further and as a turtle was walking along the trail, ok, later a Walleroo hopped by, so close, didnt see me.
 
I was soooo tired, so stopped at Twin Peaks, beautiful rapids, raging torrents. I never knew the Lower Molonglo was so beautiful.It reminded me of Canada with spectacular rivers and....  Couldnt hear any birds, too loud
