The 9th of April – Omeo to Canberra – wrap up

Two days after Omeo, the trail became a little easier in terms of steepness. Many, if not most of the hills were rideable. This has allowed for good progress and I’m finally going faster than horses or people on foot. At this stage I do not recommend the section Healesville to Omeo unless you are…

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…

Wednesday the 25th of March – Hells Gate, Brumby Hill, Limestone Creek

It rained a little bit last night. My first alarm rings at 6.30am, today I manage to wake up not long after. All my gear is wet, but I’m ready to get in the game and battle on this climb. Although my fire must have last a long time last night, it didn’t survive the…

Tuesday the 24th of March – Bindi Station to Hells gate

Lost control on this very steep downhill even though I was walking it!

Monday the 23rd of March – Omeo to Bindi Station

Omeo Caravan park gets really cold at night. I didn’t sleep well, despite having the luxurious comfort of a cabin! I might be getting used to my tiny tent and super warm sleeping bag. Morning is spent repacking everything, cleaning the cabin, and leaving. In the process I think I lost a spare sim card.…

Thursday the 19th till Sunday the 22nd – rest in Omeo

The weekend was spent eating and resting. Omeo is my favourite paid campsite. It’s huge,  grassy and has very good facilities; including a large kitchen and new showers and toilet amenities. A lot of time was spent uploading pictures and videos online. Maintaining a blog on a smartphone with slow mobile internet connection is not…
