So the Big Toes find out in 3 days if they are in the Oxfam Trailwalker 2011 or not. The last 200 spots of the 500 are up for selection on Wednesday night, so we're in a lottery to start. It's a bit nerve-wracking to say the least.
Not dissuaded, the Malicki component of the Toes went 'Toewards and Upwards' and rocked another training walk last weekend. Starting at Turramurra station, we walked to Bobbin Head via the Sphinx Track, then up to Mt Colah on the other side of the Ku-ring-Gai Chase NP. Not stopping there, we pushed on through Asquith and on to Waitara station. 4.5 hours,a total of 21.4kms! Check it:

Interesting things we saw were a ton of kangaroos in the Kalkari visitor centre native animal compound, as well as half a a dozen unperturbed and peripatetic bush turkeys. We also ate hot chips down at the Marina - yum!
Toes crossed for our registration everybody......
