Easter Hike

I survived my first 4-day hike including no shower, no toilet and carrying a 15kg pack ;-) It was actually good fun! We drove down south, met with two other couples and hiked near Lake Maringup. The first night we pitched our tents near a small river, we ate reconstituted “curry in a hurry” and tried to catch marron. It was really romantic sleeping beneath the stars :-) It is always amazing to see sooo many stars and even the Milky Way clearly (because there are no big cities around).
The next day we had to carry all the fresh water we needed for the next two days as we were heading towards the ocean and away from the river. Additional to that it was quite warm and the path was really sandy, so the sand sticked to our legs and there was no shower :-( This was the worst part of the hike.
The last night we stayed in one of the Bibbulmun huts near lake Maringup, so there was plenty of water and even a dunny.
The nature down there is just amazing! Have a look at all the different pictures that I took during our 4 day hike. It is really beautiful!
