ABOVE: Tracking points from the satellite tracker. Unfortunately there were some technical issues. Once, perhaps twice, I failed to start tracking. Between Jindabyne and Braidwood NSW the batteries went flat; and finally I cannot explain what happened between Bega and the Monaro Highway.
ABOVE: In the Garmin GPS I found part of the route that the satellite tracker didn't plot. And of course I found out how to save and print it!
