+- Departed Tidal River car park full of beans and confidence and almost instantly felt the weight of our packs as the path went into steep rocky terrain and the humidity bore down.  The reality of the adventure struck.  Very soon we were greeted with stunning views across the sea and we accepted our fate and enjoyed the adventure.
 - Normans beach was our first stop about 30 minutes in. It was a stunning cove. The kids  immediately wanted a swim and a break, we pressed on. 
-- We kept climbing through a goat track style path with frequent glimpses of the promontory as it hit the bays. Eventually we descended onto Litte Oberon Bay which was genuinely stunning. The kids were amazed at the colour of the ocean the isolation and the power of the waves. We had lunch there.

 - We pressed on and after climbing then descending through very rocky terrain with large boulder steps we came to our third beach Oberon Bay. It was a very long wide open swept beach with breakers and the wind blowing a gale - about 500 meters long. We crossed two rivers on the second turned inland to our first camp amongst the t-trees. 
 - The kids all self managed their tents, gathering water and went for well earned swim in the freezing Bass Strait water. Plenty of Wombats to look at including a mother with its baby. One minor injury overcome and the boys all prepped their meals and bedded down for a night of banter.
 - Next morning we were up and away well. We headed out on the next leg to Telegraph Track a long slightly up hill slog. Eventually came to Telegraph Track and started our Journey to Roaring Meg which saw the track steepen into undulating hills. Came across halfway hut then started up Mt Martin which was an utterly gruelling 4 hour climb. To put this into perspective we came back down the same hill in a little over 20-30 minutes on the return.

 - On top of Mt Martin was a wide open helipad where we had a quick break before descending into Roaring Meg - where the fun began.
 - Almost as soon as we arrived we were beset with heavy rain. The kids were trying to set their tents up - independent as always and things went astray. Fly's touching inner nets, water ingress. One tent quickly becoming submerged and having to be moved fully assembled.
 - Due to warmth, water and storing bags in tents the boys made the decision to keep two tents for storage and two for sleeping. So it was a 4 man 3 man arrangement. 
-- Stew and Sam set up a bivouac temporary tarp over a table for a dry place to gather and eat and we spent the afternoon and evening there. Lots of cooking, laughing, chatting and general banter for hours on end. Was great. So many joke, questions, jibes and conversations. Lots of stick whittling, food, more food, billys boiled.

 - The kids spent hours in their wet clothes and bare feet. We implored them to keep some dry clothes which immediately reminded them of their dry clothes which they then put on and got wet. 
 - There was a lower camp ground near the creek for fresh water, we stayed high. We did not do the planned walk to Southern Point 2 hours return as it was a bit much.
 - A wet nigh ensued, again as always plenty of jokes and no complaints and no arguments the entire weekend. Amazing.
 - The morning saw the rain ease after a relentless almost 18 hours of rain. We had been assured there was double the amount coming 40mm that day and got packed and on the road.
 - The walk back was a short steep climb then a fast return descent of Mt Martin before entering a long meandering track through low swamp land and amazing constantly changing micro-climates. 
-- Instead of returning via Oberon Bay we made the decision to fast track it to the shuttle bus at Telegraph Saddle and avoid the storm on the beach. The boys loved this idea but again it meant a very steep climb.

 - It descended into a race with the boys sprinting the finish line to the bus which was a very welcome relief.
 - To the car park, to McDonalds. Home.
-- It was a genuinely challending hike. Not sugar coating of this the kids carried big packs a very long way - 25km through arduous rocky terrain, often in wet gear. Faced challenging torrential rain. Required constant negotiating and issue moderating. No creature comforts at all. 
+- It was a genuinely challenging hike. No sugar coating of this, the kids carried big packs a very long way - 25km - through arduous rocky terrain, often in wet gear. Faced challenging torrential rain. Required constant negotiating and issue moderating. No creature comforts at all. Everyone got on with everyone - no one left out. Everyone contributing jokes and humour. The kids were permanently good company. 
+- The take away was that they want to go again. However this time not so much walking. Agreed. Activities or an objective is the order of the day. Much talk about hiking to be able to catch and cook on a beach. But the main thing is they want a fire. Thats next.
