Hi Al

If you stay at the hut,Please don't let anyone do donuts on Kens paddock. It has happened before and we came close to losing access across the land. Ken was not impressed to say the least.

We did a return trip with Jaffa, Andy Jackson, Steve and Marc Crackett and myself. It took about 5 hrs. This included Marc breaking a CV and Jaffa having a play on the rocks.

Cheers Richard

Would be a great trip to do.
Have only done a wee bit of exploring along easy tracks up that way.

If only I wasn't working that weekend :( :( :(
and my truck was up to it.

You are lucky that you didn't do the track when it was a lot harder otherwise you still might still be in there.

Most people do it in 2-3 hrs now.
