Journal:
I slept well and long, perhaps confirming I was very tired last night. After getting up at 7am and making breakfast in my room, the morning was spent researching hiking/running shoes and next year's big hike, along with catching up on some email, bills and TV.
After lunch in the very quiet hotel attached to the lodge, and learning that the lodge's washing machine was broken, I hand-washed most of my clothes, hanging them to dry in front of the heater, and looked at my itinerary for the next few days to Deloraine. I'll be camping either two or three nights, depending on how far I want to walk each day.
Originally, instead of having a day off here at Miena, I was going to have Friday off at the small town of Deloraine. However, when I decided to have a day off here, I cancelled the first of the two nights I had booked at an AirBnB in Deloraine (the only accommodation I could find in town when I originally booked - it's a long weekend and there is a major craft fair in town). That decision now seems premature, but maybe I'll leave it for another day or two, then contact the AirBnB property again to see if the first night is still available.
After dinner at the hotel, I plan an early night with the goal of leaving by soon after 7am tomorrow for a day that will require more roadwalking as I detour around the nearby bushfire.
