Walking today
I parked just outside Contin today with the plan to walk to Rogie Falls and back again. Most of the walk was along good forest paths but the return path along the river side started off well but eventually faded to nothing at a river gully about a mile or so short of my destination. Luckily I was able to make my way up the gully and back into the forest and the path, so I did not have to retrace my route.

Lunch today
I found a great place to stop for lunch today.
These rocks are upstream from Rogie Falls.
The water for lunch and for drinking for the rest if the day came from the river – using my Travel Tap bottle. Yesterday I recommended this bottle to one of the people on the campsite, as a good way to save weight when walking – as long as there is natural water around this bottle will make it safe to drink, so you do not have to carry too much heavy water.

From Port Appin there is a walk out along the headland.
I took one of the side tracks, from the main path, and although I had to occasionally push through wet bracken taller then me I did get three excellent photos along this detour.
