We left early to try to beat the heat. Didn't work. As we headed up the first steep rise towards the Herekino Forest an English man caught up with me. He was relieved to see that someone else was walking. We all rested at the top, took photos and exchanged information. He was heading for Queenstown and had 32 days to get there. I got down the hill before him but he easily passed us. There was a great sense of relief when we got over the fourth hill and knew that Broadwood was near. We stayed at the A&P Showgrounds. Great value. $6 for the tents it, a cess to water and toilets,a place to leave our stuff overnight,and directions to a lovely swimming hole, which was as good as a shower. A possum woke us in the night chittering away and early morning broke with the sound of a squawking bird.
