A beautiful day for walking - fine, a warm 29 degrees and breezy.
The theme for the weekend was "Scottish" as their referendum for independence was being held this weekend. Dean's flag was both sides of the argument for the Scottish referendum.
At the morning briefing, Steve Clift showed off the Scottish outfit he created for Morris Minus, bagpipes and all. Dallas Clark was the overwhelming favourite to win the MM award with a record 3 nominations. Not surprisingly, Dallas did win for his meritorious action mending a stile with wire.

Not far into the walk, we disturbed this lizard.
Our walk today took us past crops of barley and canola and along country roads. We had to take a small detour across a field to avoid swarms of bees being tended to by apiarists. We also had to give way to a tractor parade on one quiet dirt road. The walk covered 25.7 km.
Morning tea was under a shady tree on the side of a road.
Lunch was also by the side of a road, with a lovely rural view across the barley crop.

The Scottish theme was colourful and Yvonne Powell's flag stood out.
