Western Arthurs, Southwest National Park, TASMANIA
Participants:Jenny Brunker, Peter Davies, Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Trish Law, Dave Whitelaw
Jenny, Peter and Stephen had big plans for an 18 day traverse of the Western Arthurs, Eastern Arthurs and Picton Range. Trish and Dave were joining us for the Western Arthurs. With meticulous planning we were carrying all 18 days of food, Peter and I had 28.6kg packs and Jenny 26.8kg. Needless to say the best laid plans don’t always come off, as possibility the worst summer weather for 30 years presented some very big challenges.

Morton National Park, NSW
Yuin country
Distance: 39km Total Ascent:1870 m Total Descent: 1870m
Participants: Stephen Davies (Report), John Meehan, Lance, Bruce Bowman, Jo Slattery
After picking John Meehan, Lance, Bruce and Jo up by 7:30pm we were heading south. After a couple of beers at the Leprechaun Hotel we drove through and camped alongside the car in the tent by the side of the road. An amazingly fortunate choice of campsite as all the tent pegs went in very easily and remained firm all night.
