I struggled this morning. Drinks the night before and only 2 hours of sleep did not make for a good start. Plus I woke up absolutely busting and having spent my last night with the car sleeping IN the car I wasn't entirely sure how to solve my predicament. I hopped out and ran around like a headless chicken, and found to my complete dismay that the public toilets were not open for another hour. Just my luck. Ambling up the path squirming and receiving some strang...

It was raining yet again this morning. I think the weather was befitting my mood in that I had to return back to civilisation and be sociable again! Went and had breakfast at Dylan's on the Terrace as a sort of last hurrah - had a veggie breakfast which was delicious, much better than the one I had yesterday at Dome! I was going to go and visit Middleton Beach before I left, but as the rain was so relentless I decided against it. So began my last epic road trip i...

Rained all day today which I was particularly unimpressed with, especially considering it was my last day of roadtripping (cry) and the only full day I had in Albany. However, I still managed to try and make the most of it!

Had a veggie breakfast and a coffee at Dome and then went to the Anzac centre, where I learne...

Woke to the familiar sound of rain smattering the windows, but hey at least I woke up. No grizzly getting-chopped-into-pieces-in-my-sleep death for me. Result! Getting up I realised I had a splitting headache (probably from sleeping for so long), aching hips and shin splints. Getting far too old for this hiking malarkey. Anyway, showered and dressed and made my way to the treetop walk, only to find it didn't open until 9am. With an hour and a half to kill I made...

Woke up feeling pretty good after last night's nutritional dinner. I was in the car hanging around waiting for the visitor centre to open when I stumbled across a guide and map on my phone. Jumped out of bed and showered and off I went! The first stop was Gloucester Tree which I had read was one of the tallest trees (over 200ft) in the forest and had metal rungs all the way up to a platform nearly 60 metres high. Arriving I felt gassed and ready to climb, until I...
