Getting ready for the Great Ocean Walk

Over Easter weekend we have decided to do a few easy days of walking down the Great Ocean road. The Great Ocean Walk to be more specific. I say easy days because we're only looking to do 2 nights and 3 days of walking, at 10kms per day, so its not going to be any stress, that is for sure.
We've already started preparing what we're going to be taking and trying to keep weight down is a prime consideration. We'll be carrying lightweight 60 litre Backpacks (XE60) and splitting up the tents too. The hope is to get away with about 8-10 kilos each. We've actually cheated and organised a food and water drop for the second night to try and keep the weight down. It is a holiday weekend after all ;-)
I've decided to go smelly and only take one spare set of clothing to keep weight down too, so hopefully the others can cope with it all.
I'll update later in the week!
