Water looks nice, must get up there myself one day, Cheers Dave
I’m convinced.
Next time to Aussie I will get there.
Will post a link to your trip report once you finish the editing.
Hi Frank,
Good blog- Thanks.
I am planning to do the Thorsborne pretty soon. My wife and I are reasonably experienced hikers and reasonably fit – do we need to allow for three nights, or would two be comfortable enough to complete it?
Would love your advice.
Cheers, Tim
Hi Tim,
Welcome to the blog . We did this walk in 4 nights and I suppose it depends on your approach. I really reckon you would be pushing it in 2 so would allow three BUT it is such a beautiful place why not take your time and have a swim (or three) and enjoy yourselves.
The sandflies and march flies are the most painful part so make sure you take some DEET.
Hope you have a great time and please let us know how you go.
Frank
Hey Frank,
Thanks for that. I have taken your advice and we’ll stay the extra one (or two) nights on the trail.
Originally I was trying to get on there for my wifes birthday as a surprise, but QPWS only had the 2 nights available at that time.
I have now postponed it a month and will enjoy a more leisurely walk with her.
Thanks again.
Tim
