    Mount Warning

    November 27, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Apologies to our dear followers for missing a few footprints due to lack of pictures (having too much fun)!

    We are now on our way down to Tasmania (We are taking the ferry from Melbourne).

    We've been waiting on the Mount Warning track to open while we were in Byron Bay. And were hoping that it would be open by now but still isn't... So we decided to do it anyway!

    We camped overnight at the base of the mountain and woke up at 3am to see the sunrise from the top.

    Many challenges :
    -We had to walk an extra 45min due to the track being closed.
    -Lara had some blood sugar issues.
    -Walking at night, watching for snakes (saw 1) and spiders (saw plenty and were covered in spider webs)

    We pushed throught and made it to the top 45min after sunrise, but what a view! 360° view of the Border Ranges in the west, Nightcap in the south, tweed river in the north and the coast in the east. And what a treat to be the only ones on top of the mountain!

    We got caught by the ranger on our way down, but luckily enough he did not charge us! 🤐
