Who has been there?
What does everyone think of the place?
I have been there twice in the past year, in June and then December. Both 3 day trips, in the December trip got up Reeds peak and also Bond's Crag, (and had a rather epic off track walk back to the lake... note to people: go back the way you came!) In the June trip got partway up to Reed's peak. The sun doesn't hit the beach in June, and putting on frozen boots wasn't that pleasant, but the place is just stunning.. . I had fine weather both trips and it was just magical .
Didn't have any probs with the Gordon River and the track was fairly boggy both trips (about the same) through the flats, but you just push on through the mud and get over it. It took about 5-6 hours to get to the lake.
I wonder if there is any chance of getting Parks to install a toilet there - it is a little bit concerning as it isn't great ground to dig holes, and you can see where people have been. But considering it is conservation area and not national park and not THAT frequently visited I can't see it happening - perhaps people should be encouraged to carry out waste? (gross i know, but you have to do it in the snow)
anyways if anyone has any questions about the walk, feel free to ask, and i would like to put some pictures up but I think all my photo files are too large!
