Bicentennial National Trail
January 8th, 2006
I’ve occasionally seen while travelling around eastern Australia, especially while camping and hiking, signs for the National Trail. I’ve not really known much about it, but tonight I did a Google search and I found a website here that seems to explain it fairly well.
It is a trail that stretches from Cooktown in the north of Queensland to Healesville in Victoria - over 5000 kilometres! It apparently was the brainchild of legendary Australian bushman and businessman, R.M. Williams.
I would love to have the chance to traverse this entire trail! Mmmmm….I wonder…..
I have always been interested in doing the treck…A couple years ago I met a lady in her 60’s who was just about to set off with her donkey’s to do the trip!!!
Unfortunantly I haven’t kept in touch but I’m sure the BT webpage would have info regarding her journey!
