A well set-up walk through interesting countryside. The track was very well maintained, as were the shelters.

The solar panel my partner was carrying was a waste of space (although he won't admit it!)

Lasting harvest dried veges (https://www.lastingharvest.com.au/) were a great addition to our camp kitchen.
