Thanks Steve! Blogging is hit and miss anyway. The thing is, if I wrote 'by the numbers' approach to walks I'd send myself to sleep. Most walks are in a book and if you need a standard read of a route you'd find the info in there. Blogging is a chance to be the complete opposite!
Yeah, definitely on paper I didn't think it would be that hard. I guess I underestimated how bad the weather can be when it turns along the coast in winter down there. I've never experienced a night of insanity like the one at Clinton Rocks Creek. The rain and wind was impressive. It all started to add up in the end and I've never been so happy to see my car at the end of a walk
The second last day where I fell off the rocks was a drainer and I'd contemplated never walking again! I'd booked the Walls of Jerusalem & hike to Cradle Mountain the following week after this hike and as I lay freezing in my sleeping bag I considered cancelling it.
Thankfully, sanity prevailed and a couple of days spent at home with the heater on and I was alright. Actually, in hindsight I was wondering what the fuss was, but that's always the way, isn't it?!
I contemplated Mallacoota to Eden this year, but it didn't happen. It's still on my radar, as it seems to be a bit more liked than the Victorian section? Anyway, I'll get there sooner or later, but like you said, maybe autumn would make more sense
