Writing in my Moleskine became a daily ritual, especially when I was in the mountains [Portra 160]

The trail to Macetown, and the final river crossing 2km before the abandoned gold mining settlement

Trail from Arrowtown to Macetown along the Arrow River, 30km and 22 river crossings

River crossings and autumn colours on the Macetown trail

A reminder that there's still some active gold mining on the Arrow River between Arrowtown and Macetown

Signage along the Arrow River trail to Macetown has improved in the year since we first hiked this trail. The Hayes Creek sign is above a near vertical bank which descends to the Arrow River, then a river crossing and a very steep climb on the opposite side, understand this goes to Eichardt's Flat, junction with Sawpit Gully trail, from there joins the trail back to Arrowtown

I chose to walk across the river on my return.
