Bushcamp to Harper River Campground
29.6 miles
Mile 1371.3
From camp the trail followed a rocky river bed for about an hour until reaching Highway 73. I could of made a 3 mile detour to visit the small village of Arthur’s Pass, but I had plenty of food still, so decided against it.
After a 5 mile road walk I arrived at the Cass-Lagoon track. The trail led me up through forest to a scenic grassy ridge walk.
Eventually the trail plunged back down into the trees, winding its way to Harper River.
I spent the rest of the day making my way along the river valley.
Just before 8:00 PM I arrived at the Harper River Campground, where I found about ten other hikers chatting around the picnic table. I talked to them briefly, before setting up camp and passing out.
Cheers!
