GREAT OCEAN WALK – 23 – 26 March 2026
Peter O and I went shopping in Apollo Bay for “supplies” for the Great Ocean Walk.  We didn’t need to break into the cast until the night of day 2.  Would a 2L cask stretch for the next 6 days?  We’d be back in town on the 7th day, so, we should have enough right?  Watch for the results on the Day 7 post!

The Goldilocks Trip

CORANG PEAK, Morton National Park – 13-15 March 2026
Yes, this trip was “just right”! Eight years ago, I did a walk in this area but there was more to see and so I added a return visit to my wish list.  The weeks turned into months and the months into years and next thing I know I’m almost too old to be able to do the trip.

Perhaps it wasn’t smart booking a walk up to the edge of a cliff on black Friday (what could go wrong?) … but it turned out that nothing bad happened – other than walking up and down a gazillion steps! Continue reading →

TASMANIA – CAPE RAOUL – 12 February 2026
A year ago, I did the Three Capes multi day walk with Beth.  The last day had a side-trip to Cape Hauy – an 8k bounce trip that you could by-pass.  I decided to give it a miss (an 18k day had the potential to escalate into “survival” mode).  I determined that if I came back to Tassi I’d do Cape Hauy as a day trip.  So, I’m back in Tassi and have booked in to do Cape Hauy, but then I though “what about Cape Roaul, it’s supposed to be pretty spectacular”.
