Australia
5 days around new year 2010/2011

A fantastic trek from beach to beach, passing through jungles and coastal mountans, on the southernmost tip of mainland Australia.

Campsite in the jungle.
Some sounds just outside the tent woke me up in the middle of the night. I lit my headtorch, just to be face-to-face (2 dm or so) with an opossum, with only a net separating us. I got a bit startled :)

A perfect place to spend new year's day :)
