Day 10 Evans head to Woody Head

Day 10 saw Johno and I embark on the next leg of our journey from Evans Head to Woody Head. Thanks Halden and Megan for all of your help and support especially with the media coverage. And thanks for making us feel at home, you really made our short stay so enjoyable.

  Although there is no escape from the heavy pack, I am starting to grow accustom to the weight. The feet are starting to toughen up and the walking has been much easier in recent days. Johno and I have been able to cover 20+km each day without too many complaints. We have walked alongside huge sand dunes and seen some amazing wilde life on the way. White breasted sea eagles, kites, Crested Terns, Pied and Sooty Oystercatchers, and several different types of finches are just some of the birds we've encountered. It's difficult to appreciate just how stunning these coastal ecosystems are until you have walked amongst them. The beaches we have traversed in the last 2 weeks have made me realise just how important it is that we continue to preserve these areas and ensure that everyone can enjoy this natural beauty for generations to come!    

Heading towards Woody Point; the walking has been a little easier in recent days...
  After a long day of walking it was great to arrive at the picturesque Woody Heads and watch another glorious sunset.
