Note
Headed down into Namadgi NP to climb Mt Namadgi. Not many people would say that sentence in their lifetime! It’s a full two-day walk through thick scrub and definitely one for the hardier type of bushwalker. But hey, hardy’s my middle name! (ho ho ho).
We were a party of four; Jasmine, Craig, Alex and I, with Matt giving the walk a miss due to his cold. We started walking at 9am and made our way up the side of Middle Creek, all the way to the flat plain before the final climb up the Mt. We filled up with water and continued bashing our way up to the last few contours where the thick scrub gives way to Alpine openness. This last bit of bush was particularly challenging to get through, and the light was fading quickly. We were carrying big packs which made it hard to squeeze through tiny gaps – and I was carrying a three-man tent just for me! We popped out just on dark (~5.20pm) and found a camp spot. Then we spent the evening round a fire eating and drinking til midnight :)
