Title: Showers, Sunshine & Spirit – Day 5 on The ANZAC Way
Date: 15 April 2025
Route: Yaven Creek Trail/Snowy Mountains Highway → Adelong (21.6km | ~5 hrs)
The journey today took us along the verge of the Snowy Mountains Highway, with sweeping views and endless sky accompanying us for the first half of the 21.6km walk. After 11km of steady road walking, we turned onto quiet dirt roads that gently led us toward Adelong Falls, and finally, into the welcoming arms of Adelong township.
Upon arrival, we were hosted by the incredibly generous Phil and Gaye—whose hot showers were voted the best since we left home! Their warmth and hospitality set the tone for a night filled with good food, conversation, and deep gratitude.
In the evening, we gathered at St Paul’s Anglican Church, where Minister Grant Bell led a moving service that reminded us again why we walk. The dinner that followed was filled with laughter, stories, and incredible local cooking that filled more than just our stomachs.
We’re now stepping out again—next stop: Tumut. Spirits are high, legs are strong (enough), and the path ahead is full of promise.
