Morning spirits were high as we view the map of our proposed journey. |
Other people had similar intensions to us, according to the book. |
First swing bridge was the first hurdle. |
The tramp was a pleasant stroll through grassy fields .... |
Least the weather was on our side! |
Pristine. Beautiful. |
.... the uneasy crossing of four swing bridges .... |
Hot. Sweaty. Unsure. |
Tom's lunchtime friend was a spider the size of your fist ... No joke! |
The rusted train gave us an amusing interlude. |
.... |
Andy and Nicky remain positive, despite the journey ahead. |
So does Gini. |
.... an unexpected two hour creek climb with 17 stream crossings (both ways) .... |
A very picturesque setting. |
An example of the very strange foliage! |
The Thompsons take a needed rest stop. |
A widdle mushroom! |
The river wading was unexpected! |
Wet feet |
.... along and through muddy deep waters .... |
The return journey started with another river walk. |
Following a quick change of socks and a warmup! |
Resting on the way back. |
An exhausted Andy, amazed we made it home again. |
.... to an exhausted end. |
Tom swears it looked solid. His boots beg to differ. |
