Tuesday the 14th of April – Hampton to Lithgow, Sydney and Manly

Today I wake up at 6am and jump out of bed.. I mean sleeping bag. I just can’t wait to hit the trail and get to Lithgow, and from there to Sydney and Manly. I skip breakfast as I imagine I can get an egg and bacon roll in Hampton. Tough luck though, Hampton does…

Monday the 13th of April – Mt Werong to Jenolan caves road and South Hampton

Today is a special day as I might be able to reach Lithgow where I’ll take a train to get to Sydney. Last night I managed to get to this beautiful and huge Hut. Having access to facilities makes thing quicker and easier. I have a fire to cook my breakfast and a tank full…

The 10th of April – Canberra to Gundaroo

I stayed up late last night so that I could update the blog. I take pride in doing it. Even if nobody was reading it, it would still very valuable for myself. Each day is a different adventure, a different challenge. It helps me remember and feel what I felt at a specific time or…

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…
