Walk the Walk

During June and July 2006, Amy Banson will walk 1,463 km from Brisbane to Canberra. This charity walk is in support of people with brain injury and their families. Her goal is to raise awareness about Aquired Brain Injury (ABI), and to raise money to provide respite care for people living with ABI.

Amy's diary entry 3

Day 6 got off to a cracking good start when I left the kitchen tap running full blast then decided to pack away my sleeping bag, then re-arrange my clothes so they actually fit back into the bag they came out of then find the blue stripey beanie that I wanted to wear today then...yep. Water all over our van floor and in the cutlery draws. Then, from out of nowhere, young bus talent Brian whipped out the mop and had the situation under controll in no time. Quite the experienced water overflow cleaner this man.

Had a long day today, covered some good ground. Saw a new breed of cow too, which was interesting.

It's funny the things you think about and habits you get into when you're walking for hours on end. I have now mastered the art of positioning my drink bottle in my hand in such a way that there is no water movement noises when I walk. Oh and today I broke my record for the longest time I could walk directly on top of the white line at the edge of the road. Then my neck got really sore from looking at my feet for so long.

200k's have been walked. The wind has become cooler and the days a little less sunny and about the only thing on my mind right now is bed!
