Thank you to everyone who participated in our GPS-tracked walks. We managed a total of 108 walks from 106 participants. After a total of 25 days collecting data in four different locations, all the data has been processed and now it is time to start analysing.

Thank you again and I look forward to providing any relevant findings to those who indicated interest in the future.

This weekend was the first event at Mulligans Flat in the ACT. We were so fortunate to have 10 people volunteer to attend. It was a very enjoyable weekend being able to meet new people who were keen to hike. Unfortunately, the rain came over on Saturday afternoon so we had to cancel the remainder of the event. We had one amazing lady who headed off in the pouring rain, but after a few large rumbles and flashes of lightning, she had to turn back.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

I took the GPS for a test run at Mulligans Flat this week with my three sons while they were on school holidays to look at the tracks and take some photos. It is an amazing walk with so much to see. It was shaping up to be a warm day and we saw a little echidna making the most of a cool puddle, some wallabies and kangaroos relaxing in the shade and a blue tongue lizard. While there were plenty of notices to watch out for snakes, we thankfully didn't see any!
