Tuesday the 31st of March – Yellow Bog Creek to Bradley’s Hut

I’ve been in the bush for nearly a month. Before starting this trip I had spent at most 4 days in the bush and never alone. It ain’t that bad. The bike riding is the big challenge. This morning I wake up around 5am to ‘water the flowers’  and observe that my camp-fire is dead…

Monday the 30th of March – Khancoban to Yellow Bog Creek

Almost a month in the bush. It’s a continuous roller coaster with its ups and downs, in a way it mirrors the shape of the mountains I travel on. When it’s uphill, chances are that I’m having a bad time. But recently it hasn’t been true. I’ve found myself enjoying some of the tough climbing.…

Sunday the 29th of March – Keebles Hut to Khancoban

This morning it’s – 3°C. My new friends light up the fire and we soon get warmer. We just need the sun to go over the mountains to start warm up the land and make the mist disappear. It’s scenic though, very spectacular. 4wd River crossing: Once all my gear is dry I wish my…

Saturday the 28th of March – Geehi campsite to Keebles Hut

The night does not go well. I get sick and have to wake up many times and find the toilets in the dark. In the morning,  after 6am Graham offers to bring a tea while I’m still in my tent. Nice one Graham. We spend most of the morning chatting, drinking tea and having breakfast.…

Friday the 27th of March – Connelys Hut, Tom Groggin, Geehi

Tonight, writing these notes I’m already having trouble remembering everything. I feel like I went through two seasons and three countries in one day. I wish I could record all my thoughts, it would be easier to write this journal. This morning we seem to all wake up at the same time. There’s three of…

Thursday the 26th of March – Limestone Creek to Connelys Hut

It was hard to find some sleep yesterday after all this coffee, whisky, yummy food and excess sugar in the biscuits. But after closing the sleeping bag until there is only a small hole for me to breathe, I get warm and cosy. Sometimes in the night brumbies come near the tent, I hear them…
