VIC Day 23 (247) Thursday 27th January, 2022 24.6KM
5182.1 / 49.8km
I started from the hut still dark.

I only got about a kilometre when a thunderclap caused me to look at the radar and I stop and put up the tent fly over the groundsheet. Then I sit for 3 hours as the storm passes over.
A lot of rain so I eat breakfast drink coffee and guide the water around the groundsheet.
After the radar shows the storm had finally passed I start the long walk down the mountain. There is a lot of water and I have to jump a few trees until further down. I didn't hear any fall.

Further down near Keppel Falls someone's cut a path through but not for cars. So I assume the road is only closed to cars.

That's until you get to the gate that says all personal prohibited. I did pass a family going up on mountain bikes so who knows.

Anyway I walk down. The blackberry vine on this side has been poisoned in spots so I assume the National Parks do a little maintenance. There is a lot of water coming down the hill.

I eventually got to Marysville about 3.30pm. I've booked a donga style room. Not bad value at $79, as long as other people don't make a lot of noise. 2 more days walking left. 1 zero day Marysville.
