For those of you who want to know a little more about the Coast Track, check out my blog post at https://tinyurl.com/y423pvcb and be sure to add it to your itinerary when we can all travel freely again.
The Coast Track in the Royal National Park, Sydney Australia. 26KM with an overnight camp about 18KM in, right on the beach at North Era. An absolutely beautiful little trek.
The Six Foot Track from Jenolan Caves to Katoomba, NSW Australia. Three days, 45KM, one hell of a tough track. More details and info can be found on my blog at https://tinyurl.com/srqh5rk.
Hey @Snowglobe, also consider the Variante Espiritual along the Portugués. I'm really looking forward to this stretch when I tackle it next year. I've got some info here about it: https://camino-a-go-go.blogspot.com/2019/01/a-plan-is-hatched.html

As everyone else said, there are no specific times. I always tried to get mine at a church/cathedral somewhere during the day and then where I was staying that night. I didn't want a stamp from an albergue that I didn't stay at and I didn't want a random coffee shop. To me, for whatever...
Just how much a good night's rest helps to mend the body. There were a couple of nights along the way where I went to bed aching and thought the worst (Astorga springs to mind: https://camino-a-go-go.blogspot.com/2018/05/day-21-astorga-to-foncebadon.html) but after a good night's sleep, I was...
Oh wow! Thanks, @Vacajoe, for posting. I'm mad keen to try this. If any beer nerds are doing the Camino from April 23- May 23, keep an eye out for a guy in a Dave's Brewery Tours t-shirt or hat. That'll be me. I'm a tour guide in Sydney with Dave's and would love to grab a beer with you and...
