Anzac day remembrance used for tramp by Carl and I in the Tararuas, by heading off Tuesday night to North Ohau hut and returning on Wednesday the 25th Anzac day.

Started walking just past nine, so dark already.
Interesting growth on this log, healthy bunch of mushrooms.
A good night for travel as saw a few eels.
Got to the hut in the first quarter hour of Anzac day, got a fire going, constructed comfy sofa's and had some beer and whisky to relax with.
And I got my toes comfy ready for some sleep probably around 0300 hours Wednesday, almost dawn parade time. Thought of the men who enjoyed tramping in the Tararuas and went across the seas and died in a foreign land. There is a sadness there; if mumbo jumbo was part of life their spirits would have been buzzing.

Out of bed rather late and sluggish and eventually left the hut at half past four, heading back to Poads Road. Got to the car at seven twenty and off home.
