Three days of walking along the coast and in the forest trails around Mallacoota. This area was hit hard by bushfires summer 2019-2020, which resulted in an evacuation of thousands by the navy as people gathered on the beach, trapped by the flames. The evidence of the fires is still plain to see, despite the regeneration.
It was almost dark when I encountered two koalas on the Narrows Trail. One of them was as intrigued with me as I was with him.
Everywhere can be seen evidence of the bush fires of 2019 amongst the renewal of the forest
