Day 21: Wirrabara Forest to "Beetaloo"

Sunday 25th August 2013:

The theme for the weekend was "Show Your Colours" and Dean Mortimer did that with his Sunday flag.  With the federal election only 2 weeks away, this may be an insight into the policy initiatives that could come out of a minority-controlled Senate.


The usual morning briefing was held in sunshine that promised another beautiful on the Trail.


Michael Middleton was awarded Morris Minus for notoriously leaving his boots home.

The walk-in was 2km up the TV Track.


Then we continued where we left off the day before, with lots of undulations, lots of views and picturesque sections of the Trail.





Morning tea was in a quiet spot on the ridge, but no views.



Then it was more undulations on the dirt track.



The view to the right.



The view back to the TV Tower where we started the day.


More undulating dirt track.


Our lunch stop had the views we did not get at morning tea.



Setting out after lunch.  Some of us are still admiring the views.

 Distant views to the wind farm near Redhill.



We finished the day meandering through some picturesque countryside.



The walk was 19.3 km on the Trail + 2 km walk-in, for a total of 21.3 km.
