Gareth's Hike

On the 1^st and the 2^nd of September Scott, Lachlan, Callum, Caitlin, Max, Angus, Tom, Regan and I went on a hike at Moondarra State Park organized by myself. We were accompanied by Sylvia. We started walking from the intersection of Dwyer Track and Tanjil Bren Road, about 2km down Tanjil Bren Road, in a north westerly direction. After we had hiked about three kilometers we turned east and started hiking along Sennis Track. Along the Sennis Track we came across a group of motorbike riders, so we had to be careful of others using the track. About six kilometres later along the track we came to the Sennis Camping Ground, located on the Tyers River.

When we arrived there we had a short rest before we started setting up our tents.

Sylvia had already started a fire so we went and collected more firewood. We sat round the fire and talked before we started cooking tea. After tea we sat round the fire talking while people went to bed one at a time.

In the morning we packed up and left about five minutes later than what was planned. It was harder on the 2^nd day because it was mostly uphill. Max was having difficulty walking because he had hurt his foot the day before but we still finished early. Once we reached to the finish point we had to wait 45 minutes until the transport vehicles arrived.

In my opinion it was a successful hike except for the rubbish problem. It was a good hike because we finished early and it was enjoyable.
