“Every day that goes past I wish I was still out there,” Matt Gore grins.
Giles Penfold concurs, saying, “There were some grim times, but I look back on it so fondly. It makes me want to go out there and do bigger and better adventures, which is hard to do because it’s the bloody AAWT!”
The Australian Alps Walking Track runs for 655km from Walhalla, west of Melbourne, to Tharwa, a small village 15km south of Canberra, and takes in the high country of Victoria, the ACT and southern NSW. Hikers can take anywhere from five to eight weeks to complete the trail but Giles and Matt, both 25, finished it in 16 days and 6 hours.
