Leg: Nina Bay to Ferry
Distance: aprox 3km
Time : 1-2 hrs at a slow pace
The final day on this delightful trek dawned to our usual fare of bright sunny skies and a nice warm temperature. The walking was relatively easy other than a couple of rocky outcrops and sections close to the beach. We scrambled over these OK as the thought of “real” (read take away here) food was starting to stimulate the salivery glands . Below is the final leg of the journey heading up Ramsay Bay to the ferry pick up point. All details for ferries etc are on this page of the Blog. 
The ferry arrived as we had arranged and following a boring wait …
Leg: Little Ramsay Bay to Nina Bay
Distance: 3.6 km
Maximum Elevation: 74m
Time taken: 1-2 hrs
Today was almost a rest day as we only had to cover a short distance. It was up late, a wander on the beach and then we packed up and were away by 1030. The travelling was relatively easy to Nina as all our packs were getting light. Vinnie had almost run out of the type of food he liked, so he has having to make hard decisions about what he would and would not eat. Below is the campsite at Nina where we camped under a HUGE tree, again right on the beach. 
Beach cricket was enjoyed in the afternoon using a …
Leg: Zoe Bay to Little Ramsay Bay
Distance: 10.4km
Maximum Elevation: 90 metres
Time: about 6 hrs but at a slow pace with lots of stops
We got on the track quite early as this is one of the longer legs of the Thorsborne Trail. The first part of the track is along the beach and was very pleasant walking in the early morning. The picture below is Ken & Vinnie heading along Zoe Bay with Mt Bowen in the distance.
The track then goes inland through a long section of rain forrest that skirts a large mangrove area. This was very pleasant walking except for a couple of areas where the track markers were not clear and the ground …
Leg: Sunken Island Reef to Zoe Bay
Distance: 6.9.km
Maximum Elevation: 232 metres
The sunrise was wonderful at Sunken Island Reef and the shot below from Clare and Tom’s tent showcases it beautifully. Clare’s pack can be seen hanging from our rat rope, which is effectively a strong (but light) rope threaded length wise through two softdrink bottles. The theory is that even though the rats can easily tightrope walk along a rope, they can’t get over or around a slippery , plastic bottle! We carried bottles and rope for this purpose and had up to 5 packs hanging off one rope without any rat attacks!
Below is the campsite, looking out to the Bay, there was plenty of room, …
