After months of research, planning and preparation, Damien and I were finally ready to tackle the AAWT. With my wife, Sue, acting as our support person, we set off early on Tuesday, 1/04/2025, for a 5-hour drive to Kiandra to stash what would be our second food drop. From here, we had a one-hour drive along the gravel Tantangara and Pocket Saddle Roads to Gurrangorambla Creek to stash our first food drop. Another hour drive saw us at Alpine Tourist Park, Adaminaby, setting up our tents for the night. Sue and I would be trying out my new Durston X-Mid Pro 2 Dyneema tent, a 510g tent bought just for the AAWT. Our pub dinner was one to forget.

It was a cooler morning after yesterday’s heat and as a storm had rolled through it had cleared the air. So in pleasant conditions, we returned to Freycinet National Park for the classic Wineglass Bay circuit. Soon after we left the car we heard a voice “Hi Steve and Sue, what walk are you doing today?” It was the lovely young woman we had met yesterday on our way down from Mount Amos who wasn’t able to make it to the top. It was a pleasant surprise to see her again.
