Day 32
Start: Wandandian Finish: Nowra Distance: 18 Total: 525 I walked six hours today in a light drizzle. It was just heavy enough for the roads to be damp, but not heavy enough to need my parka. I try to avoid putting the parka on as much as possible because it’s a steam bath wearing it. … Continue reading

Day 29
Start: Brawley Point Road Finish: Milton Distance: 16 Total: 489 Today was a bit of a grind.

Day 27
Start: Moruya Finish: Batemans Bay Distance: 16 Total: 451 I had a great day today. Only 16 miles to walk, good weather, a nice shoulder on the road, and even a little town along my route for a lunch break.

Day 26
Start: Narooma Finish: Moruya Distance: 26 Total: 435 What a crazy day today turned out to be.

Last night’s stay in Narooma was … Continue reading
