Even though we were hiking by 7:20am, the extremely hot and humid January day made the hike a challenge. I also got indigestion half-way up, which slowed me down a bit until it subsided after lunch. We saw lots of goannas and small lizards. Didn't see any snakes but we were sad to come across a cane toad. I nearly walked my face straight into a spider but thankfully no stings more serious than ants.
