I went on the walk to mount solitary from the golden stairs, in the blue mountains, on saturday.
first mistake i made was incorrectly gauging the distance between the main railway station and the start of the walk. so that added about 8km to my trip time unintentionally, and made me start much later. it also used up a decent amount of energy even though i was just walking along the side of the road.
i mistimed it and got lost in the dark. had to crawl up the golden steps by feel like a blind dingo. still one of the best days i've had in ages. blue mountains are fantastic once you get about 3 clicks away from the tourist crap. especially cool is the fact that you are actually allowed to have campfires at the designated campsites there.
eventually I want to walk out to wild dog mountains
>>801892 nice. i was talking to this girl yesterday who went out exploring the whitsundays with her friends. anyway they found this completely abandoned hotel that got hit by a cyclone in 2003. it looked pretty great.
