hiking!!! (ice ice baby)

A whole bunch of CABC-ers went on a two day hike from Bundeena down to Otford; from the 26th of December to 27th December. What a wonderful time for fellowship as we shared this experience together. We had a few newbies too - their first ever hike! It was so totally awesome; but I am so sore in just about every part of my body!

26th December
4:00am - Got up coz I couldn't get back to sleep. I was too excited!
6:15am - Arrived at Epping Station and boarded the train down to Cronulla.

On the train we redid our packs and ate a quick breakfast.

Joey + his banana :: wow! joey IS a banana!

From Cronulla we took the ferry across to Bundeena. While we were in Cronulla Big Joey realised he forgot to bring gas for his da bin lo!! he was so lucky that of all the hardware stores in Sydney; there was one in Cronulla; that was open on Boxing Day; and had an asian store manager; and who understood cantonese!


jeff was really busting to go :: at Bundeena ready to set off!

We walked from Bundeena to Wattamaloo (something that sounded like that) where we had lunch. It was quite hot as there were no trees for shade but the ocean view was on our left the whole time.


Vicki + Ness :: Nate + Dan

When we finally arrived at our lunch destination we were all ready to collapse - but the Frosty Fruit we all had was the most delicious thing we've ever tasted... it made up for Big Joey forgetting to bring the watermelon!

We arrived at our camping grounds by 6pm as we didn't realise we had to climb another whole mountain after reaching the kiosk! it was a bit of a setback; but eventually we all made it to the other side.


the amazing view :: frankie got burned real bad

The guys cooked an absolutely delicious meal of pasta with either turkey spam or hot n spicy spam with either sundried tomato sauce or garlic onion and bacon sauce!!! =D next time tho, they promised stir fry with fresh fish! haha


still can't believe joey brought a da bin lo! :: looks like a tan... but it could just be dirt!


famous hat hair :: yikes! it's a drop bear!!

27th December
The next day dawned bright and fair with none of us actually waking at sunrise, and all the girls ready and packed to go before some of the guys had gotten up. We were all quite tired and very sore due to having trekked some 20km the day before, and all very much in need of a shower!


almost at Otford station! :: jeff in an awkward position

We arrived at Otford station just in time to catch the 12:19pm train back home (lucky seeing as the train only came every 2 hrs)

And finally a quote from Emma:
"I knew there wouldn't be any showers so last night I showered super-hard!"
