Hard

It’s not often you spend two months walking half a route. But, unsurprisingly, that’s more than enough time to be moved, changed and ready for mum and dad’s.

Wind hits differently at 90 kilometres per hour. My friend Morgan and I lean into the tropical cyclone-level gale, sand blasting our faces and shins as we trudge through dunes between Beachport and Robe.

Acknowledgement of Country

Wherever and whenever we walk, we acknowledge and pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians and Owners of the land.
