Beautiful light as we started our last days walk.  Wooroolin has a picturesque small former church that I could not resist taking a photograph of.

The countryside was again rolling farming land with the famous red soil. We saw plantations of Duboisia, and walked past the facility where they convert this to the drug scopolamine and its relatives.

Another beautiful day walking. We stopped in Crawford to have lunch before the final stretch into Kingaroy. We were all very glad to take our packs and boots off.  









We then all squished into our car to drive back to Wondai – where our two young men switched cars, and then on to Kilkivan.  It was actually surprisingly enjoyable to drive back over the route and remember different things that had happened, as well as appreciating just how far we had walked.

All up 88km in four days with a great group of people and some great memories made.
