At 5:30, the rats on the roof started to be loud or they had been loud before, too, and now my ears were too sensitive. The result was another shortened night. It was dark until nearly seven and no light available except the torch of my phone, so packing up took a while.
And suddenly out of the dark came the sleepy Laura and we talked a bit and she assisted me a bit and when everything was ready for leaving, she took her bike and showed me the first direction.

And then I was on the “train-trail” that goes along an abandoned train line. It was beautiful and I saw many animals, this time alive ?
the old train bridge… 
But after 45km, Mr.G wanted to go left and when I saw the nice road and because feeling a bit tired of the gravel road of that trail, I did what he said. Troy had showed me an alternative that would have gone on on the trail and later on a highway. That variant would have been 20km longer but with 300m less climbs. I calculates roughly that the original road would be shorter, but there was a big problem:
My route left the nice road again soon and for 50km I had bad roads, so I sometimes even could hardly push the bike and when it went down, I couldn’t go fast because the small stones of the road made it very slippery. For 2/3 of the distance I had needed 8 hours and feared I would be 12 hours in total. But the last part was going down most of the time and the road was good, so I made good
again on the road…. 
but this one lives!
a part of the delay and at 17:15 landed in front of Joan’s house. Her dog heard or saw me first and Joan came out and showed me a place for the bike and a nice extra room for me. First, I cleaned my bike and threw the ball for the dog, and after showering, Joan and I talked until 22h, with a dinner in the middle. She had also used cargo ships, but in the year 1964, they had been cheaper than other transports. Joan is nearly 80 but still volunteering in health care transports to Melbourne and back and has plans like going on trails in Tasmania.
It was nearly too late for a Bürgschaft recording, at least for me, because I was too tired after a long day and an exhausting tour, but we did it.
