In the middle of August, Peter went on a hike with three other men. The 11 Km hike turned into a 21 Km one due to missing an important turn (they were following a written description). They were supposed to go back along Stringybark Tk but missed it! and found themselves walking under the high voltage power lines for a long way. They had that sinking feeling that something was wrong. Eventually they decided to "bush-bash" to where the car was. That seemed better than retracing their steps and climbing back over a particularly large hill. This last part through the raw bush was the most exciting part and involved crossing Island Creek with the help of a fallen tree across it. Better that than wet their mobile phones. They were all chuffed to find their car in view when they broke through to the road. Pictures below.
