Hi Jase! Fascinating to see you’re still doing those (now even longer) long overnight walks! One of these days I gotta finish bondi to manly, but the familiar struggles you shared at the end of this video has me wondering otherwise haha.

Congratulations on doing the whole walk, I'm just getting started on planning a segment or two of the GNW as a starting point (probably the Olney sections as I go camping there), as its been many years since I've done a multiday hike. Loved hearing your humble style and your insights throughout the series (I watched it all), Your journey reminded me of a 10 day walk I did on Fraser Island in the 1980s when I was a student but without the big hills and the infrastructure - Not sure if that is on your list but I recommend it.

@@noral1188 No problems no, but I'd suggest that for most people sharing the experience would be preferred rather than going alone.

Hey Jase, really enjoying following your journey. Just to note I don't think you were on the top of Ossa. Ossa is a plateau and there is a false summit on top of those rocks before the final push. You have to go down over the rocks for a while and then climb up onto the plateau which was probably out of sight in the conditions you were experiencing. Something to look forward to next time maybe? Those gusts would have probably blown you off the top. I had to smile when you said on the video when you were going through The Japanese Garden section on the side of Mt Doris that you were almost there. What a beautiful place. Cheers, Pete
