The posts that I hope to put out over the next week are from the Aussie summer over Christmas and January, when I got to do a few shorter hikes here in Oz. I hope these posts … Continue reading Great South West Walk GSWW – Day 1 →

Bridge Creek to spring campsite - 27 miles (43km) - 2616 miles total I crossed the 2600 mile marker today. It is T-2 until Canada.
