Arrived in Bundaberg an hr late, so now will be catching another bus in 90 min or so to Fingerboard Road roadhouse, where I will stop overnight (possibly on the floor there, or possibly by pitching the tent somewhere, depending on what the people there say) & get a connection to Agnes Water in the morning. This is an improvement on the other option which is to spend tomorrow in Bundaberg (there is not v much of interest in Bundaberg, unless you like rum, which I don't so much), get to Agnes Water late tomorrow evening, & not be able to go surfing and/or sit by the beach with a nice drink at all.

The effects of spending the last 7 months gallivanting around the world now become clear: I am entirely sanguine about this situation (though admittedly would have *preferred* just to get the damn bus on time).

( The lovely ppl on #dw offered to chip in for a motel if I was stranded due to cash crisis, bless them :)
[me gets happy warm feeling] )
