Today, you'll pass over from Spicers land into the Main Range National Park. As you venture forward, you will feel the forest folding in around you. Walking through living history makes you truly appreciate those who fought for national park protection in the region. Today’s walk is smooth going and relatively flat so while its the longest day by distance it’s easily achieved. As you walk into camp you’ll see the light coloured wooden treehouse-like cabins set above the forest floor.
