2022 South Coast Track
Hobart city view from the hills
I arrived in Hobart around 40 minutes later and while it was a smooth flight the poor little plane was battling 100km headwinds all the way there. I spent the afternoon socialising with family who I am staying with and taking in the views of the city down below.
One things that went through my mind was the day length as we approach the summer solstice in just under two weeks and given how far south we are the days are very long. In fact it was very very light at 9:00pm and by 5:00am this morning it was the same. My original plan was to start walking tomorrow morning but as someone who hates sitting around I’m seriously considering starting my walk this afternoon and doing 13.4km to Point Eric and given the Parks website rates this as ‘easy to medium’ and estimates it takes 3.5-4.5 hours that would meet by preferred stopping time of 8:30pm which would allow me to set up my tent in daylight and cook 9. I’ll see what happens when I land after the flight to Melaleuca this afternoon as to what the conditions are and how I feel.
Last night I put my final pack together and apart from water and gas which I’ll pick up when I land in Melaleuca.
Today is a matter of waiting and after an early lunch will head off to Cambridge airport for my flight to Melaleuca.
