It is not a stroll in the park!!  Northern section completed in 1997, southern section 1999.

For the northern section had food drops approx every 5 days at CALM offices.  Southern section re-supplied at Denmark & Walpole.

Northcliffe to Donnelly River Village.

Advice for Others

Train with a pack, wear old (walked in) boots and realise every day is different - good, bad, excellent, down, up.
