MEANDER TO

I first decided to walk, cycle and paddle from Rather than research the whole route, a very daunting task, I decided to plan as I go. Wilf Hilder commented that there was no point in organizing the whole trip at the start “in case the grim reaper intervenes”. Wise, if not rather macabre words. So, the challenge began on a cloudy day when 16 people from Sydney
Bushwalkers Club and the Bush Club joined me at I am not overwhelmed by the task I have set myself, only by the organization involved when putting walks on Club programs several months ahead. To go to a particular Stage just click on the appropriate hyperlink below

His current link is http://greatsouthcoastwalk.net. I also relied heavily on the following books: Beaches of Beaches of Beaches
of Merimbula and the Walking the Wilderness Coast, by Peter Cook and Chris Dowd, Wildcoast Publications (1995) was also useful. Copyright 2016 - David and Maureen Carter All pictures - David and |
