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. The only thing that could have made it better would have been not having to … Continue reading »

Start:  Narooma Finish:  Moruya Distance:  26 Total:  435 What a crazy day today turned out to be. I had rain, pain in the feet, narrow roads, heavy holiday traffic, got a ride, then deciding to walk after all.

Start:  Cobargo Finish:  Narooma Distance:  23 Total:  409 Today’s walk was a challenging 23 miles on a nice weather day that took me through some thick forested terrain with plenty of traffic to share the route with.  I got started at 8:00 after breakfast at the local bakery in Cobargo. Immediately after getting on the … Continue reading »

Start:  Bega Finish:  Cobargo Distance:  26 Total:  386 Today saw me taking the rain gear off and on all day.

Start:  Eden Finish:  Pambula Distance:  12 Total:  339 Today was a milestone; I finally got away from the town of Eden and am now headed straight north toward Sydney and eventually Brisbane.  Even though today’s walk was only 12 miles, I was back carrying a full pack and the hills are crazy. Also, it has … Continue reading »

Start:  Wonboyn Road Finish:  Eden Distance:  14 Total:  327 I officially made it to Eden today, even though I’ve been sleeping here for three nights already.

Start:  Genoa Finish:  Wonboyn Road.  Distance:  25 Total:  313 Today I was back out on the road with a full eight hours of walking with no break.  This morning I had an 8:00 bus to catch and I knew from reviewing the route there would be no towns or places to get lunch or take … Continue reading »

Start:  Eden Finish:  Eden Distance:  0 Total:  288 After visiting the doctor yesterday with my gimpy right foot, I followed his instructions and rearranged my schedule to take the day off today.

Start:  Cann River Finish:  Cann River Distance:  0 Total:  288 After having done these long walks three times over the last nine years, I’ve learned you can plan every detail but you can’t control what you can’t control. You just have to accept whatever comes along and just work with it.  Over the last few … Continue reading »
