KINCHINA WALK.  (Barefoot)

An idea of what the trail surface is.  Sandy with litle stones and rocks.

start of trail


shot 2   See kinda how much space between rocks/stones and size relative to the feet.

shot 2

shot 3  how the trail winds through the trees..

shot 3

shot 4   one of the rockier parts...

shot 4

shot 5   the mossy ground is softer and better sometimes

shot 5

shot 6   this is the nice soft sandy stuff...

shot 6

shot 7  tread on any of those little ones is going to hurt,  they're sharpish..

shot 7

shot 8   this calls for a bit of navigation...

shot 8

shot 9  a tractor track, I call it.  they call it 'Kinchina Track'.  It's on the maps.  Public can't access it though. Locked gate.  Local farmers can.  The walking track
I am on crosses it heading roughly West.

shot 9

shot 10  now a lovely bit of easy walking...   a stroll...

shot 10

shot 11  i call this 'the beach'  and have a bit of a nap here sometimes.....

shot 11

shot 12   these maybe wild looking things are harmless...  you can safely walk on them (if there's nothing unexpected under or amongst)   That's now.  May.  Sometimes things like this, of course,
when they die back leave sharp seed pods behind but I don't think these do. I'd expect some from previous years still around if so but there's nothing.

shot 12


shot 13   This is the beaut looking natural floor and mostly walkable.  Trouble is some twigs and old broken branch bits might have jagged bits sticking up...


shot 13

shot 14  horribly over exposed shot of the only wildflowers in bloom right now. cellphone/camera not the best and my skills even worse.  I might be able to gimp some accuracy back into it.

shot 14

shot15   Another terrible pic.  Should be showing the town way down the bottom of the hill through the trees there...  ah well...


shot 15

shot 16  now that there is a 'roo trail.  i like to follow them.  generally soft easy going and interesting voyage ....

shot 16

shot 17  another shot that fails to show the beaut view of the plains below and the distant horizon...

shot 18

shot 18  know what that is?  roo pellets.  the whole ground is covered in roo or rabbit or whatever pellets...  all over...  it doesn't seem to dry up, blow away or rot down...

shot 18

shot 19  what I call a 'roo  mega highway...

shot 19

shot 20 very fine clear set of roo prints... on top of an old hoof print i think...

shot 20

shot 21   I've reached what I call the 'roo paddock and they knew I was coming....

shot 21

shot 22   one bloke suddenly bounded off in front of me...

shot 22

shot 23   that's the 'roo paddock and they're just making up their minds which way to go...

shot 23

shot 24   the same as the above but 'wide angle'...  to no particular benefit...

shot 24

shot 25  the hard track....

                                  that's it.   :)
