Great shots Martin, who's got the gold tent, the Usain Bolt of bushwalking?

Grat photos MJD!

By the way - is that a Hilleberg Allak in the photos? Any chance of a bit of a review of the tent? It's at the top of my list for my next purchase in terms of specs, but haven't found many reviews on the web.

Cheers
Luke

Luke, it's a Hilleberg Soulo - I have put up a brief review in the 'equipment' section:

The gold tent is my MSR Hubba. And I'm certainly not the Usain Bolt of the group. I'm usually the slowest but I am happy to walk all day. I did manage to sneak off in front a couple of times when the others stopped for a break and I kept going :) .

I think he meant the one in the third pic that looks gold. Is that Jez's or Dave's new one? Great pics, BTW, and finally a pic in some (light) scrub!
