I can remember a couple of areas where the track was narrow & a steep drop off was to either side but remember in the unlikely event that u go over the side if tired etc lots of trees prevent you going all the way down. you will slip over heaps of times so you may as well get used to it. I also have a fear of heights i.e. looking over a cliff, but it is such an amazing experience you won't even think of it
just get in there & do it

Hi all

I had all of these questions in my mind before i went and the experience showed that gore tex lined boots are the best mine were La Sportiva and were worn in approx 6 months prior, good woollen socks and use light sock liners.
absoloutely no blisters or sweat problems we were on the track 3rd July and it was the wettest it had been in many years & track was very boggy. luckily not much rain on us.

Cheers

Hi Allison

Was interested in your advise of fitness levels required to do the track I am 45 and recently climbed Mt Barney in SE Qld (8.5 hour walk & is rated one of the longest & hardest treks in QLD & I was totally gone by the end of the day) What i am wondering is how hard is each day on the trail ?

I train a minimum of 3 times a week, walking hills around the area i work in Bris with pack for approx 1 hr 20 min, will cycle on w/ends for 20 – 30 klm & also a walk on w/end climbing a local 700 mtr mountain 2 to 3 times.

Basically am trying to find out am i doing enough (we depart on 3rd july)

Cheers

Anzac
