Wow. Certainly looks a bit cold. Funny as I thought heat was going to be the issue. Did you go on the rope swing?
ReisenderNo, we hadn't been walking long so wasn't really feeling it. Yeah south western Australia can be quite cold in Spring. About to change though - we've got a run of good weather ahead of us & forecasting 29° next Tuesday

Pingerup Plains
1. Oktober in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Great day today on the Pingerup Plains - & a long day, clocked up 41km.
Still pretty swampy but lots of variety & probably the most remote part of the trail.
Reisender41km is impressive. Love the vegetation. So different from NZ. What sort of food carries are you doing? Good selection to resupply?
Reisenderprobably about 5 days food on average. The longest section is the first one, being 10 days, so arranged a food drop halfway through. Trail towns are fine for resupply
ReisenderGo well you guys. I look forward to following your journey. X
ReisenderAlways exciting to get started. Good luck-look forward to the updates.
ReisenderYay… you’re on your way!! Enjoy ☺️
