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.
