the times are recited by memeory, but I beleive they are mostly accurate
3:00
we head off to pick up tony, slight detours have to be made to help a friend (shannon) try and move his oil filter on his french excuse for a car, the "citroen" after raw strength can't seem to get it off, we hammer a screwdriver through the oil filter and BEND the screwdriver as opposed to turning it, we decide we can't really help head off to tony's
4:00
arrive at tony's get stuff, and leave, tony's wearing the most awesome berae (or beatnick hat as he calls it) and I convince him that he should his guitar for some good ol kumbayah action by the fire later tonight, we're both pumped, and ready to go by around 4:15
5:00
we arrive at penrith plaza, walk around for a bit, I go into a cd store and buy a coldcut album that comes with a free ninjatune sampler, and seeing as that record label has done me little wrong in the past, I buy coldcut cd with the sampler even though I haven''t heard any coldcut,
6:10
we arrive at the train station, say good bye to emmeh and the crew, and wait,

7:30
we're on our way!! I put on my mix cd, and tony puts on his, and we're both bopping away all psyched up for the trip, then all of a sudden it starts to get really cold and in fact, IT GETS SO COLD THAT I TURN INTO A MINIATURE COW AND TONY TURNS INTO A DUCK, which makes our luggage seem all the more fucked to carry, as this picture clearly demonstrates

I carry all my bags out and get off the train platform, and ton puts on his military style jumper, which, when coupled with his beree, makes him look like he's ready to start a neo nazi revolution, especially when carrying a guitar case that looks more like it's carrying a machine gun, we start walking down the road in the direction that I beleive the parks and things are, however I qwuickly realise we're heading into nowhere and turn back,
oops.
alright, on the right path now,.. (I hope) we start heading up a hill that makes a nice photo

and cut across a park and start the trek to where the wentworth falls national park thingy is supposed to be, by now it has gotten EVEN COLDER and nipples start to get hard, and the bags seem to get heavier, and, as tony said "this whole walking business suck whole fat load of cock" we're both feeling really fucked and getting really annoyed, so we stop at a bus stop to get some air

so we venture down past a whole heap of houses and inn's and cafe's all closed for hte night and go down into this picnic area, upon further inspection we find that all of the waterfall trails are closed >:( and all of the places we could set up tent or make a fire are in clear view of the public eye, SETTING UP HERE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA, so we venture back up and find a guy that is sanding his windows, we shout out to him but it appear he can't hear us, he answers tho door and the first thing I notice is the halfertrio ae track playing, WHAT THE FUCK, this guy was about 40 years old, alone in his house listening to some mego label ambient! alright! we ask for directions to somewhere we can set up camp, and he say "go to a bus shelter and there's a big park. it's probably the only real place you could set up, I'd recommend packing up by 8am though"
hmmm,.. this is all sounding familiar, I suppose we shoud go there and set up camp,
9:50
we walk some, and the temperature gets even colder, by now I am seriously wondering if it has reached below zero yet, (I wouldn't be suprised, we ARE up in hte mountains after all) and we come to the park and have a look,
the park is on a raised block of ground, raised in such a way that hardly anything is visable from outside the park, there are light bushes going right around the park that would obstruct view, so we pitch a tent on the pitch (cricket pitch that is) after long discussion of exactly where we should set up,

ahh,.. we got our shitty $20 tent set up, a fire going, 'you know, tonight might not be so bad', yeah we're cold enough to karate chop cement block and shatter our hands, but it's all good, we'll get inside our warm sleeping bag and get some sleep
11:20
did I say warm? holy shit it just got colder FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
all huddled up in the tent, "if we can just get to sleep we'll wake up and it'll be all over", however ITS TOO FUCKING COLD TO SLEEP, our heavy breathing coupled with our shivering is way too much for us to get any sleep, and what ensues is the four most arse licking hours of my life, trying to get to sleep, trying not to shiver, trying to breath, trying to pull my sleeping bag ever so much harder over myself, me and tony start cracking jokes about eskimoes, but the laughter is probably enduced more by the shivering than anything we're saying actually being funny, the shitiety continues into the night, and it gets colder, and colder, and colder,.........

we get up and take a good long look at the tent
FUCK YOU TENT!
after some arse fuckery and agitation at trying to pack up the stupid tent, I decide "fuckit lets leave the tent behind, some kid will enjoy a new tent"
we grab our stuff and get the hell out of there, and start walking the fut back home, it's gotten EVEN COLDER, but we have some new found energy becuase we just want to get the hell outta there, tony hasn't even used his guitar yet and is cursing bringing it,
3:45 halfway back we stop for air and I take a photo of some leaves

Im afraid to say that i failed too.
Here is the story of...
Another 24 Hour Misson XFAILEDX
6:30pm- leave house with two fat bags
7:00- after some Hillish walking, i finally reach White Rock Beach where i lied down on some sand and caught a bit of sun
7-930- I walked the beachline till sunset listening to SAW II. this beach was unpopulated and the only walkable path was the rusty old traintracks. I had no idea the strip between white rock beach and crecent beach was so long. anyways, the coldness kicks in and everything becomes pitch black. literally, i was in the the middle of nowhere without any source of light and a vast black ocean to my left which i could hear over my headphones.
930 - Arrived at crecent beach, got a coffee and sat down on some drift wood by a cackling fire listening to Amber.
10:00- it is so very fucking cold. even with two pairs of jeans on, 2 shirts and a hooded sweater.. i shiver and shiver, my teeth chattering. and with the little strength i had in me to speak through my frozen lips i screamed
"FOR KEY-SECRET!!!"
10:03- homesick
10:15-12:10- took a LOOOOONG FUCKING walk home, i chose the streets this time though, the path i took was pitch black now.
so thats 6:30 - (lets say 12:00)
Five and a half hours.
sorry chris, it was just too cold.

but i feel great, going on long walks can really wash your head out. plus i got some nice nature footage with my camcorder. im thinking about making a little video out of it. just a relaxing sort of thing.
some drone ambience would go great with it. i know a few songs to use but i always like suggestions.
