Up the hill in light Otways rain and choking smoke to fetch the car from the start of this morning’s bush walk
A few strange meetings with the same pale blue Haval and a driver that I couldn’t tell if they were ignorant or malicious; first a very close pass on an otherwise completely empty road, at which I yelled and waved my arm out “give me more room!”. A few minutes later, there they are parked on a hairpin bend facing back down the hill, but as soon as I passed they did a u-turn and came back up behind me … “uh oh … “, but no, this time they passed so far on the other side of the road that they were off in the gravel. Then eventually I got up to Blanket Leaf car park and there they are, parked next to our car! As I pulled up I can see a very lost looking pair of tourists both frantically scrolling their phones – “You ok?” was met with smiles and nods. I suspect they were trying to find out whether this road really does go back to Melbourne – well it does, but they may not want to drive along the Mount Sabine road in the wet. Oh well, not my circus, not my monkeys
