Day 13: Woolshed Flat to Broadview

Thursday 30th May 2013

Another brilliant day on the Heysen Trail - fine, warm and scenic.

The day began with the usual briefing.  Dean's flag was Rock, Paper, Scissors.





I was awarded Morris Minus for allegedly notorious behaviour the previous evening.



Lots of great scenery to admire along the way.


At times the trail and surroundings were beautiful and tranquil.

Morning tea was at the base of Mount Brown before the climb.




Then it was 4.8km up Mount Brown.

Only 1 km to go.

Too many signs here - 3 in 30 metres

After lunch, we walked down from Mount Brown.


End-to End 1 contributed a water tank for this part of the Heysen Trail after their walk.  This sign acknowledges the co-operation of the land owner and reminds us of the need to respect the owners' property.

Then it was over the fence and a walk-out to Broadview.




The walk covered 21 km in total, being 18.3 km on the trail and 2.7 km walk-out to Broadview.
