After breakfast, we packed up and moved on to Bark Bay.


Our path took us past Cleopatra's Pool and a spur track with two waterfalls; we skipped the waterfalls, but we did take the short spur to Cleo's Pool.

Some huts had these wonderful 3D charts showing the path over the hills.

Lucy noted that the bridge of doom can hold 5 persons and there were five persons there. "So let's go!" Terry suggested that we should wait until the two folks ahead of us got across. In case someone blunders up, misses the sign, and starts crossing.



The track (yellow line) brought to Bark Bay Hut (red arrow) for our second night. In this image the bay is between high and low tide. We arrived at low tide, claimed four bunks in a six-bunk room, and walked across the soggy sand to sit on the beach and watch the sea (red circle.)
