So recently, I woke up and realised I am getting old. Just like that. OLD.

OK, so maybe I’m not that old, but sometimes it only takes something small to make you realise that life is passing at a rapid pace. In my case it is due to an upcoming tremulous year of change. I’m not sure if tremulous is the right word but it sounds good so I’m sticking with it. This year, my partner and I could potentially move to a new town, new state, who knows? Because I know that I could be leaving this beautiful place I call home, I’m suddenly desperate to do everything and anything.

To Do List: Climb to the Tomaree Summit – check!

I first stumbled across this ‘trek’ on Instagram. I have a friend who seems to live the high life and she tagged herself at the top. My first thought “damn her and her motivation to do stuff!” Then I came across it on this surprisingly awesome site: http://www.hunterhunter.com.au/

So on Saturday morning, we hit the road, coffee in hand and joggers on. I had expected to be a heaving mess by the end, covered in my own sweat and beetroot red, but turns out the first ten minutes was the hardest part. Twenty minutes later and we were at the top.

I had one of those ‘sigh’ moments at the summit and suddenly wanted to have a ‘deep and meaningful’ about the wonders of the world and the meaning of life, but the short silence was broken by a grating voice behind me shouting, “Look at that dog on the beach!”

So I turned around and trudged back down.

The beginning

Almost there
