Up up and more up. We left camp at 10am and steadily went up most of the day. Just before the track there was a tractor. We ended up meeting a whole group on ebikes heading to the lodge for the night.

I am incredibly jealous of the ebikes. This trail would be so much more fun without slogging it up the hill. However the scenery is incredible. I can highly recommend anyone who wants to should do the trail.

Made it to the 10km mark

The forest just got better from there.

We made it to the highest point wahoo. We encountered some people on dirt bikes who pretended they were allowed. I am sure they are not. They told us about a hut off track we could go to but it would be hard to get our bikes there.

An 800m slog through the bush we finally made it to the Bog Hut. Built in the 60s for researchers looking at plant life and animal life in the area. It has a fire, we got it lit for a small amount of time. It ended up going out. The wood is far too wet. Freezing our buts off after a swim in the creek. I am waiting for my dinner to be ready then I can hop into bed and get warm.
