Macalister Springs Nov 25

Today's walk was brilliant! We are now in one of Victoria's bush
walking Meccas, so the tracks are well tramped and navigation is easy.
The views from Mt. Magdala and Mt Howitt were spectacular. We got our
usual early start and arrived at Macalister Springs at 2 PM.

Lee took panadine (paracetemal+codine) as well as the
anti-inflammatorys and tied her boot less tightly at the back and she
had a much better day. We are running low on anti-inflammatorys but we
met a journalist on Mt. Howitt who had some out at Mt. Howitt car
park, 4 km from the hut so we got 14 from her, enough to let us finish
the walk.

Vallegjo Gantner hut at Macalister Springs was built in 1971. It was
architect designed and is very flash even though the roof leaks a bit.
It's raining probably until Sunday, so we've claimed a corner of the
loft and we are going to rest Lee's heal and my blisters until the
rain stops. Luckily we've accumulated food and some was given to us so
we can afford to stay. Sadly this will cause all of our books to be
empty, but w won't have to carry them to Mt. Hotham.
