A. At last count 1003kms (+\- 25kms)

A. Shelters are all the way along the trail spaced at a good days walk apart, ranging from 12kms to 25kms.
Q. What about showers and toilets?
A. No showers but long drop toilets at each shelters.
Q. Is it in the Australian desert?
A. No the trail is in the woods. It is dry but the Aussie bush has adapted to this and it's very green all the way along.

Q. How heavy is your pack?
A. Between 12 to 15 kgs depending on how much food and water we are carrying.

A. Parts of the trail loosely follow old Aboriginal trails used for seasonal travels.
Q. Will you have phone coverage on the trail
