General Comments

The Track looks like it is now part of the bush.  Doesn’t look as “new” as it used to.

Food drops and local towns, nothing too exotic.

From the Amity to the Southern Terminus.

Highlights

Seeing some water in the creeks and rivers after so long being dry.

Relief at being able to complete each day earlier than e.t.a. (I must still be reasonably fit).

Wildlife

Not much other than roos.

Strong garbage bag to flat backpack over Parry and Torbay inlets.

Got none.

Advice for Others

Don’t take too many clothes.
