About ten minutes in i started to feel the wrath of being unfit, and the regret of not bring my asthma puffer along. An hour later i was tired and hungry, i had only eaten two pieces of toast all day and my stomach was asking for nice feeding!!
That was when it hit me, i had left the packing to Jimmy and all we had to eat and drink where two muesli bars and a small 250ml bottle of water!! With so little on hand the rationing started!! half a muesli bar each and a sip of water at a time.
About two hours in we made it to one of the Mountains peaks. The views where awesome, so we climbed up the rocks to get some sweet shots!.
Walking up the Mountain was considerably harder due to the fact we had no sweet hiking gear on. Instead we overcompensated with two jumpers each, some old dingy runners, jeans and a business shirt ( Jimmy ).
While on the walk Jimmy recognized the calls of the wonderful Lyre Bird. Excited to find the bird we followed its calls, scaling off the track deep up into the mountain.
The Lyre BIrd is rarely seen in their natural habitat and are most notable for their superb ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment.
This is a video i took of The Lyre Bird (bad quality, but the music is great)
Be vvery vvvvery quiet!
Tougher conditions meant tougher walking
And a few hours later we had made it too Cathedral peak...what a view
After seeing Wombat crossing signs everywhere we where hoping to come across one on the drive home.
Unfortunately this is all we got!
one more...
And after 8 hours of hiking with hardly any food or water, i decided to treat myself a nice Seafood dinner.
