Postman Track Hike

Jeff was soon to do another couple of nightshifts so we took the opportunity to get out for a decent hike the other day, now that the NP’s are open again

We wanted to go to Cradle but the main road in was still closed and no buses – so thats a 7km hike in BEFORE starting any ‘real’ walks.
So we just went up to the Postmans Track at Rocky Cape

Inland this time instead of scrambling over the jagged rocks along the coastal track.

Muddy!

Some wattle unexpectedly making an early appearance

Dead calm day! The ocean was like a millpond – strange to hike with no wind to fight!

I forgot to grab my gaiters as I headed out the door… so annoying!

Apparently the chest strap at Jeff’s neck doesn’t choke him haha !! Really would bug me for sure!

View back over the farmlands

Such a beautiful peaceful afternoon traipsing up and down hills

I enjoy walking along the almost ridgeline of the area. Clouds were starting to rest on the hills too!

Time to find a spot to sit and have lunch!
Dark is falling early now so we didn’t want to be walking back too late.

Sandwiches taste a million times better when you are sitting out on a hill somewhere (although I will admit the home made relish helps)

Not a bad view…

And then back home we go.
Something like 18km that day … bit footsore afterwards!
Was hoping to get some snaps of wildlife but didn’t see any while I had the camera out of course!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!
Cheers!
