Current Goal

It's time to go home.

Little Kiwi Pingu has been to lots of places in Austrailia over the last 8 years  and even Argentina.

He is getting travel weary and he would really like to come home to Auckland North Shore New Zealand.

Can you help him on his way back?

Visited 3/26/2024 Wombatwandering took it to Victorian High Country Victoria, Australia - 70.42 miles  Visit Log

After a night at Licola (more than enough), ConnieandRick, George the 2WD car, and I headed up toward Mt Howitt in the Victorian High Country. The road was pretty rough but George battled along and we made it to Howitt Plains Hut which is the home of a very old cache that filled a gap in both our Jasmers. I love being in the high country, it really feels like I’m home. Great hiking and backcountry skiing here. Not today though, we have places to go and caches to find. 🥾
