Steps in a long walk by a modern breed of bushwalkers
Ross Andrews reports on Jan Olsen, ex NSW Federation of Bushwalking Clubs official, completing a 4000 km staged trek from Queensland to Victoria. Olsen, with wife Sue, planned a roadless route from Tullongin Morton National Park near Goulburn to Kosciuszko National Park via Shoalhaven River Clyde Mountain and Deua River regions to minimize vehicle tracks. The walk, documented in National Parks Journal, aimed for wilderness immersion with food drops every seven days and involved careful navigation along high country ridges and river systems, ending near Tom Groggin where the Victoria track from Wilsons Promontory would terminate.
