Well Kate I was impressed with you as a human being (and a writer of course) before reading this now my admiration has skyrocketed. I know something of lugging children around our own bush block in the foothills of the Brisbane Ranges, (a couple of decades ago now) but to undertake your hike is next level. Bush raised children are the best !!!:)
What an inspiring story, I can't even begin to imagine the logistics of overnight hiking with a baby. The last time I went up frenchies I was 10 weeks pregnant and that was exhausting, but with a baby is next level!
Thanks Emma, I do think hiking when pregnant is super human, it’s very impressive you walked to Frenchmans, and also so wonderful to enjoy that walk before the arrival of children 😊
WOW what a bloody journey and undertaking, to say the least! Incredible. I couldn’t fathom doing the same but you are right, they just need food, comfort and a clean bum. My guy did love to be close and be in the carrier so I’m sure he’d have been happy enough but I kept to journeys around our city based home instead 😆

Oh Diane, a lovely comment, thank you. It was a trip that we will remember for a long time.
Wonderful adventure! I admire your cheerful determination and what a gift to your family, to model delight in the outdoors.

Great story. Now I want to come hike Tasmania again. 💚
Thanks Phoebe, there are so many wonderful hikes here in Tassie. We are very lucky to live so close to the mountains
