Sorry folks..no photos. Mobile phones don't work here.
We have had a pretty good 5 day walk from Pemberton, through mainly karri forrests. A couple of steep valleys that were hell to get down into...and worse to get up out of again, and Margaret is still plagued by her little toe that started giving trouble just before Walpole. Still, today is her birthday, so after she has done the laundry, stocked up on provisions for the next stage of the walk, and chopped the wood for the fire, she can have a bit of a rest!!!!
Highlights of the past 5 days.
1 Buying blow-up pillows at Pemberton!
2 Lunch at the Graphiti Cafe on day 4 - a gourmet cafe in the middle of the forest miles from anywhere, and just a few meters from the track. Great food & coffee ---photos to follow.
3 Actually making it to the halfway point!
4 Meeting a great bunch of people (Heath ,Ian etc) at Beavis hut. They were all walking southwards.
5 Donnelly River does not have a booze outlet, but they do have a complimentery Happy Hour between 5 & 6 on Saturdays - our timing was impecible, and when Margaret mentioned it would be her birthday drink, Tony (who ownes the place) slipped us the remains of the box of the red to take back to the cottage. This morning he gave Margaret 3 little bottles of baby cham also. Great place this!!!

Tomorrow we start the second (& final!) half of the walk. It is starting to look like we might actually make it!
