Leave Donnelly River south through jarrah forest, returning to karri forest again around Manjimup Brook, (5.5 kilometres). Delightful walk which has the Donnelly River as a close companion after you hit the twin bridges. The river is with you for the next 50 kilometres, lovely karri forest, rapids and valleys to enjoy. No major hill climbs.

Slept in until 9am so didn't hit road until 10:15am. Nice knowing I have only 16 kilometres today. Pleasant walk through Karri Forest. Saw two tiger snakes today bringing the total I have seen to four. One karri tree was 32 of my feet in circumference. Arrived 1 hour behind Hermon and Anneka (2:15pm). The Tom Road Shelter is near a lovely pool of water, which is Donnelly River. Bit cool for a swim so I caught some worms and threw my hand line in instead. Caught nothing (again), so my dream of catching river fish still unfulfilled!

Shared the harmonica around fire. Anneka knows a couple of tunes. In bed by 9:30pm, there's a mouse in the house so we have all hung our bags up with our food in it. Wrigglies in the tank also, so I may need to get Mum's stocking out to filter the water!
