The challenge for today was the Zamia Walk to Mt Archer summit.

We took approximately four hours to ascend
and three and a quarter to descend the 12.5km each way. This is a lovely walk that goes through quite
a variety of microclimates – open woodland, rocky creek lines, dry rainforest
and spectacular views. This is quite similar terrain to the Gheerulla loop of
the Blackall 100 (trail run) and would be great training for it. The views from
the top were primarily over the city, but the views on the way up were over the
surrounding ranges. Compared to our expectations parts of the route were much
hotter when we were in open sun, and the areas of rainforest were much denser
than we expected for the Rockhampton area.
