I slept well for the first night in my tent. It didn't leak, it didn't rain. There was some condensation that looked like it might drip on me. I think this was because I didn't peg peg out all of the tie lines. I need to be more thorough in the future.

I was lazy getting up. It was cold and I knew I had an easy option of a lazy day or a hard option of a tough day.

I went to a nice cafe for a huge breaky.

I met for the second time, a couple of Bibbulmun hikers at the cafe too. I tested the weight of one of their packs. It only weighs 12kgs. I wish I had more time to talk to them.

I think cyclists can learn a lot from through hikers. I don't know how they survive. I have so much more stuff than them. I am keen to give it a try. But I need to focus on getting home to Canberra for now.

The start to the day was a freshly graded forest track.

I got to a big forest recreational area. Forgive me I forget the name.

Anyways there was a sign for the Munda Biddi Trail users.

This sign is great but could be easily missed. There was no sign at the 5.5km mark saying to turn left. I was using the App which made it easy. But also it could be easily missed if someone didn't have the App.
