I’m planning on doing this walk before linux.conf.au 2017. I’m interested in a couple of experienced hikers to join me. It starts at Melaleuca and finishes at Cockle creek.
Important Points

- Eighty five kilometre hike done over seven days.
- Tides and wet weather may add a day or three.
- Fly in to the starting point (yeah, it’s remote)
- Carrying own food and sterilize own water.
