We all had an early start today so we could complete our running before our scheduled school visit. The landscape now is dotted with termite mounds and since yesterday we have been seeing baobab trees along our route.

The entire team covered 215km today to Fitzroy Crossing, where they visited Fitzroy Valley District High School.

Despite the easterly wind, in The Lion team each runner completed two 7km sections today, totalling 72km.

The team hides from the schoolchildren and prepares for a ceremony at Fitzroy Valley District High School.

We arrived at Fitzroy District High School and were welcomed by the deputy principal, David Wheatfill who led us to a group of students who were enthusiastic to hear about the Peace Run.

We had the whole team so the country guessing game was a challenge, but these students were up to it and guessed them all.

After our presentation everyone had their special moment to hold the Peace Torch and then run with us.

"Team, today's work is done, please sit in the vans and go to rest at Fitzroy River Lodge!" says team captain Stacey.
