THANK YOU HIKERS! Cheers to an amazing 2025! Into 2026 we go!!!

To a great year of hiking… To the National Parks. The wildlife. To the “Oh fuck are we really hiking through water” moments. To a beautiful Australia – the most amazing country we all cherish.

To our boat party… pool party… bus trip... weekends away... and drinks at the lingerie bar. To the friendships. To the relationships that have started. To the gossip… To the hookups.

To our diverse group of imports – every hike is like a UN field trip. To the local Aussies. To "the banned" who missed out. To the amazing bars we’d only find via hikes. To that "first sip of post-hike beer / taking the hiking shoes off" that feels better than sex. To the schnitzels and fish and chips that soothe the soul. To the speedy hikers I scream at to "Slow the fuck down"... to those that keep that slower hiker in the back company.

To those that are mentally down yet have found smiles and positive energy from our hiking group. To the lending of a hand to help a stranger up a rock / over a creek... to the politically-incorrect-degenerate-filthpot behaviour that makes our hiking group loose and fun.

But most of all. To you! The hikers. And of course to Mother Nature. The positive energy you hikers brought this year in nature has been amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

To all of the above… I raise a glass.

See you in 2026 for more amazing hikes, laughs, drinks, photos, and memories.
Big Hug! MJ
