Camped: Giants
Not a long way to go today but something to look forward to…hahahaha… the coffee van at The Tree Top Walk.
Left the hut at 06h00, pretty much as usual. My new hut mates were sort of up with the birds…or maybe with my packing?
The walk all the way to the next hut is a slightly undulating walk through the tingle forests again. There are some large tingle trees on show, some hollow and others not.
I did see a feral cat on the track. It is a fair bit larger than a standard house cat. They are a pest but so far I had only seen signs of them, not the actual cats though.
I got to the tree top walk at 09h30, 30min wait until the coffee van opens. I decided not to do the tree top walk, as I have been walking through the forests for weeks now. I feel I have a good enough appreciation for the trees.
It is less than 2km to the hut, and after spending 1 hour eating and drinking coffee, I still got to it before 11h00. So it was going to be a longer day in camp. The weather is pleasant though, still sunny. So will enjoy it.
I must say that Giants hut is really well appointed: washing line with pegs, large hooks and carabiners to hang your food out of reach of the bush rats, wooden door mats to stop carrying sand onto the platform, plastic box in loo for extra toilet paper. Mozzi coils too! Well done to whoever looks after this shelter!
