Walpole to Albany   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1115 of 3595 |
G'day Walkers,

I'm about to head off for a bit more Bib Track walking - Walpole to
Albany. I haven't walked that section before. I've read what there
is in the Southern Guidebook but I'd be interested in personal
experiences on this section.

In particular,

1. the beach sections, any boggy dunes to slow me down?
2. Giants to Peaceful Bay is only 25km so possibility to double hut.
The guidebook points out that this coastal section is one of the most
picturesque areas and while I'm not in a hurry a day up my sleeve may
be useful if I'm waylaid (discussing benefits of the Trangia Vs the
gas options). Camera or the boots?
3. is the ferry/hire boat across to Nullaki easy to organise?

One day I'm going to go bushwalking without the need to be at the end
of the walk at a particular time.


Thanks in advance,

Paul

Thanks for that Andrew. After receiving Harry's email I looked at the map: staying in the canoe shed may be the preferred option. I didn't want to miss out...

Hi Andrew, Many thanks for those Larapinta links. Most interesting. The report of the 2002 walk is an odd one. They seem to average at best 2km an hour, and...
