Posted by G’day folks. As you read this I’m Day 10 into the Australian Alps Walking Track having walked more than 239km to date.
This trip’s blog is likely to be little different to others I’ve written in the past in that each day is written after the fact, not on the go at the end of each day as I recount my thoughts in the tent.
I’ve found I just don’t have enough battery power this time around to write daily on my phone and upload when in service. With 10 day stretches between town facilities where charging power banks is possible it’s much remoter than other long trips I’ve done where its been 3-5 days between town resupplies. I need to keep the power for my phone as it is my main means of navigation.
I guess the main thing I’m trying to get across is that written after the fact, much of the colourful detail you will be used to, putting you right there with me, may be absent this time around. I’m taking brief notes as thoughts come into my head throughout the day but each day is a mission and many of the details will simply be forgotten. I’ll try to recount the main points of interest for each day and hopefully produce a product that is still enjoyable to read.
For now, sit back and and start scheduling your morning coffee routine read through as the next 10 days will come thick and fast.
Enjoy
Mick
