End-to-End 2 Reunion

A year on from finishing the Heysen Trail it was reunion time for us End-to-End 2ers.

Kaiserstuhl circuit


A weekend in the Barossa Valley, staying at Tanunda Caravan Park. Friday night was a meal at the Tanunda pub, Saturday a hike from the Push the Bush book to Kaiserstuhl, followed by a Saturday night meal and world premiere of Robyn's vid.

It was a fantastic weekend catching up with everyone.

Thanks to Hilary for the below photos, more photos can be found on Robert's picasa site.

Push the Bush walk

This is the first hike I've done from the Push the Bush book, loved it.

Mt Misery circuit


Walk 6: This extremely hard walk incorporates sections of the Montacute Conservation Park and the valleys and ridges south of the Kangaroo Creek reservoir and the Thomas Hill forest region. Wonderful views over the Adelaide Plains.


Got a little lost in the Thomas Hill forest region, as the Cudlee Creek Mountain Bike Park has been developed since the book was written, but having ridden there before it wasn't too difficult to reach the final exit track. Had difficulty finding a couple of the tracks, and walked the wrong way immediately before lunch, having to backtrack.
