Soon the way levels out. Every pace immerses you further in the countryside. Some 10 minutes from the road, ignore a turning left and keep walking through the olive groves and vineyards. A minute later, where a well-concreted track leads up right and a rough track goes left just ahead of you, keep straight ahead on the main track. Shortly after this ‘crossroads’, it looks as if your track runs out, but it goes steeply downhill and narrows to footpath for a few metres/yards, where it crosses a watercourse and goes up the other side, soon passing some fig trees.

The route flattens out, offering more views into the ravine. Continue beside the water gulley. The way appears to fork here in front of the trough; go right. Beyond here the way is very steep and rough; you need to be sure-footed. At a boulder marked with red arrows, the path forks. On the left you pass through a wire gate almost immediately. At the next T-junction turn left and cross a small concrete bridge.

I think governments are necessary because if there weren’t any there wouldn’t be any law and people would be killing each other. They help keep the system in order for certain things. If there wasn’t any federal government there wouldn’t be anyone to fix up problems in the country. It’s the same with the state governments. If the state governments didn’t exist there wouldn’t be anyone to look after the schools, vandalism and fighting would occur every day. The local government is important to look after rubbish because otherwise everyone would have diseases.

In Australia there are three levels of government, the federal government, state governments and local governments. All of these levels of government are necessary. This is so for a number of reasons. First the federal government is necessary for the big things. They keep the economy in order and look after things like defence. Similarly the state governments look after the middle-sized things. For example they look after law and order, preventing things like vandalism in schools. Finally, local governments look after the small things. They look after things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have diseases. Thus for the reasons above we can conclude that the three levels of government are necessary.
