Great update.

With temps in the 90's F here, it was a fun mental change

Looks like beautiful county

Great report, I'm interested in more details on your bottom and top quilt, if you could share.

Wonderful!

I'm sorry but those photos have to be fake. Not a single kangaroo or koala and no desert. I've seen pics of Australia and they don't look like that. Snow? Down under? Ha!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Glad the pics are cooling some in the currently warmer areas of the globe!

being from a non-snowy life, what were your preparations . . . did your feet get wet . . . cold ? ? ?

In the photos I didn't see a camp fire ? ? ?

Hi Bradley, I had on a pair of Meindl boots which eat up conditions like these. I use them when I head over to NZ or Canada for trips like this one. Unfortunatly I couldnt take the hammock on this trip in Canada!

No camp fire either as were could be bothered to stand in the rain and try to get it started. It was easier to use our stove to make a soup under the tarp!

Thanks Shug.

Yeah there were some terrible bushfires in the area a few years back and the place is still recovering in places and it has a strange beauty to it thats for sure.
