A wilderness experience like no other....
We knew that the terrain would be easy (75kms in 3 days) and that the track would be popular. However, we didn't know that we would end our first day sitting at a large resort drinking pints in a manicured garden. In fact, we didn't know that we would later enjoy wine whilst sitting on white leather couches. Yes, this was wilderness.
As it turns out, there are upwards of 20 different lodges, resorts, and hostels along the way. The mandatory water taxi to the start of the track includes transport of your luggage. This means we hiked with our day packs while our large packs were boated to our campsite. At the end of the day, all we had to do was pick up our packs on the pier, and set up camp.
We were of course the only suckers who camped...everyone else munched on 4 course meals and sat in the spa!

Andrew may be able sing O' Canada, but I think legally he is required to perform the song in both French and English. SO technically he is only half there.
Christine make sure to enforce this regulation, to be continually in compliance with Commonwealth policy.
Unfortunately Nik I am unable to sing our national anthem in French - in fact I can barely sing it in English. However I have been encouraging Andrew to add U's to all sorts of words (favour, neighbour, colour) in accordance with Commonwealth spelling policy.
O Canada, terre de mes ailieux et les fleurons glorieux!
This along with "Mr. Strong, move it out." Are two things that echo in my head since Bob Ellis' 7th grade french class.
