After driving from Drouin that morning, we headed out for a 2 day hike from McFarlanes Saddle, along high country snow plains and through groves of re-growing snow gums (burnt in 2006). Took a packless detour to the top of Mt Wellington, at 1634, a rocky and very windy mountain top. Back to the packs and continued walking to our campsite at Nyimbo, a new camping area located between Millers hut and Riggals hut. We had to walk out to get water, a significant walk down a track to a watercourse. Decided to walk from there to check out Millers hut, where we found 3 x 4WD pop top campers (there is 4WD track access and a woman sitting on a chair knitting in the most idyllic location amongst big trees and soft grass.... the old hut was a classic.

Morning run up and down the creek. Back was feeling stiff at the start and left foot still feeling jarred after Monday’s rough terrain.

Heavier weights: 2x5kgs session.

Easter Day 3; the map was a mixed rough forest and adventure park.
The rough forest was extremely rough underfoot; rocky with bracken and knee high scrubby grass and prickly bushes. There was a very high risk of falling and twisting ankles.
