Back to Bushwalking!

 Tuesday 22 September - 182045

Again, I started the day with a swim at Middleton Beach. Today I learnt from some of the other ladies there about thermal swimming caps – apparently you wear the normal swim cap underneath and then this on top to keep your head warm, like a beanie for swimming.

Today’s physio visit resulted in an increase in the exercises I am to do, and a reintroduction to bushwalking. So, this afternoon we headed out to walk the Luke Pen Walk. This travels along the bank of the Kalgan River. I saw more wildflowers that I had not previously seen. I enjoyed having my SLR camera with me, rather than my phone camera. The walk was undulating, but not overly steep in any spots. My calf seemed to handle it well but was feeling tired when we finished. (Distance 11.53km, Time 3h 18m, Ascent/Descent 200m)

Last up for the day was the Oyster Harbour Fish Traps. These need to be viewed at low tide. They were used until the end of the 19th Century, but have since fallen into disrepair. Despite this it is still easy to visualize how effective they would have been.
