Days 63 to 65, Brampton island



The resort at Brampton isnt very yachtie friendly so we spent little time in there. Most of our days was taken up doing the spectacular walks on the island. We walked the island loop the first day, which was a 9 klm circuit. Discovery of several southern facing bays and beautiful bush senery, varying from big hoop pines to maiden hair ferns. A very worthwhile walk.


The next day we took the walk up to Brampton Peak. A moderately steep walk and Hayden found it challenging. He was most upset if we opted to continue past a rest stop. The view was Awesome and well worth the effort! A height of 219m was reached which is much higher than my usual height of being flat on my back.
We also met a couple, Andy and Donine who had travelled on there boat Rose, from Alaska. It had taken them 5 years to reach Australia and were in their second season. As they pointed out, their boat is Much tougher than them and i think this applies to most.
