Today I covered the 16 km to Brothers Bay Hut, leaving Rich back at Waterfall Bay to go check out the penguin chicks at Lusitania Bay. A steady uphill climb to Pyramid Peak was followed by the relief of some undulating track. I ducked off to visit the waterfall to the south of Green Gorge, which was a spectacular sight on account of the swollen creek. The climb out of Green Gorge, broke my heart a little, but lots of rest stops and some steady stomping finally got me up and out of the Red River Valley and to the Brothers Point track junction. I was all tucked up in the hut and had another nap whilst I waited for Rich to arrive later in the afternoon. Pasta dinner and some games of crib rounded out the last night of the trip. Early to bed ready for the final day of walking back to VJM.
