Today you farewell the Donnelly River as you soon take the final climb out of the Donnelly River Valley. Carey Brook, however is worth lingering at (13 kilometres) and if that's not enough, the detour to the Karri Valley Resort is very tempting. Beedelup Falls is also a spectacular feature along with the suspension bridge (18.1 kilometres). Couldn't wish for a better day.

Today I hit the track at 8:30am. More hill climbs made the first two hours challenging. At the 13 kilometre mark I hit Carey Brook Bridge which has a lovely waterfall and pool. Needles to say I swam, ate noodles, tuna and drank tea. - luxury.

More indulgence followed as I did an 800 metre detour to the Karri Valley Resort, around the 15 kilometre mark. There I had a lovely swim and sunbake on pontoon out on the lake. Then it was $10 worth of luxury. Coke, Chocwedge, salt and vinegar chips, Freddo Frog, Snickers Bar and a Crunchie. Mixed with parents and kids on holidays from Subiaco Primary School. Had a lovely 4 hours there and even fished for trout with corn. Arrived at hut at 7:10 pm after dusk. Thought I'd missed it, as it took me longer than expected.
