| Day 2 Furneaux Lodge to Punga Cove Resort 12km (~7 miles), 4 hours |
||
| Today's walk started out with much better weather.
Not a drop of rain in sight, although Wednesday's rain left the track a
bit muddy - which caused me to wipeout...but just once:)
The track took us through Endeavour Inlet which has an old mining site at the head. They mined stibnite, which is a hardener for steel and is also used in the production of pewter. Most of the track was originally used by the miners and as a bridle track for the local farmers. |

The track took me around the Inlet - into Big Bay and then
on to Punga Cove Resort. This resort was again only accessible by
water or the track.
