We woke to a fabulous sunrise 🌅 and then drove the short distance to the historic town of Glenfell, steeped in gold rush history and the birthplace of Australian Poet Henry Lawson.

Once set up Seagull headed out for a run 🏃🏼 in the Weddin Mountains National Park ⛰️
Starting at Holy Camp, he followed an old logging track to the base of the mountains then up a steep climb to Peregrine Lookout, across to Eualdrie Lookout and down through rugged terrain, ridges and deep gullies to Ben Halls Campground. Then he did it all again in reverse- a total of 13km and 758m elevation.

Whilst the Seagull was doing his thing, Justine headed into town. Ruth (who we met at the pub yesterday) invited us to a lunch she ran at the Salvation Army, so Justine popped in to offer a hand and spent some time chatting with the locals.

After popping into tourist information ℹ️, what was planned as a one night stop over is now going to be a little longer as we jump on our bikes to explore more of the area tomorrow 🚴🚴🏼‍♀️Read more
