• Day 4: Cape Hauy and Fortescue Bay

    January 26, 2023 in Australia

    Another incredible (but kind of tough) day.
    We started out early (6:45 am) because our first feat was to climb Mount Fortescue. Luckily it was all in cool, lush rainforest which made all the steps a little bit more bearable.
