This day was just amazing, i've seen this coast from the Jabiru, but it was equalled by the view from the Heysen Trail. A lot of Newland Head Conservation Park has been burnt and so about a third of our walk today was through rather blackened limbs. This made the view quite good to the coast, but it lacked the flowers and the animals - other than scary big ants... Once we got past all the burnt bits the flowers, birds, animals and rock-climbers all appeared to make it a very memorable walk. My boots were starting to hurt my big toes again and my left boot was over-tight and caused a blister on the ball of my foot. The new trail from along the coast to the bluff is coming along quite nicely. It was a shame that we had another 7km along bitumen road into our pick up point, but there was still heaps to see along the way. I was craving a hot dog and hot chips with a chocolate milkshake which was easily procured at the end of the walk!
