13.12.2007 – Thursday 13 December – Mount Field

Morning

• With 2026 kilometres done, we are at Mount Field National Park. We had a late start; both poles snapping on the useless joke Kmart call a tent. Bronwen drove to Great Lakes, with me driving the latter half, then on to the Waddamana Power Station Museum via unsealed roads, before heading to Bothwell where a bakery had very good cream filled apple turnovers.

Afternoon

• From Bothwell I drove, back on sealed roads, to Mount Field National Park, through fields of hops.

Evening

• We fixed the tent poles by sacrificing the third pole, set up camp ($8 per person), and had dinner. I managed to find a platypus, which swam only a few feet from me.

Night

• Just before bed, we walked up to Russell Falls and saw some glow worms.
