Probably about 3 hrs each way.

I camped just to the Nth of Esperance after coming from a camp near Mt Snowy the day before. Got up E around 9am, to the Calf, over Adamsons and to the car by just on dark 630pm.
Nothing to see here.

The boys loved it - when we got to the stand of pines, I let them go for it and we wandered around in different directions trying to be the first to find it, until I heard a distant "FOUND IT".
We had originally planned to camp at it or in it, but it was pretty dark and dingy in there (would be welcome shelter if it was bucketing down rain or snow), so we just headed directly down to near Wurragarra creek to camp.
It's a good interesting o/nighter for kids - up Maggs 17, find a planewreck, find a hut , climb a mountain, and whatever other mischief they can get up to. :) .

It isn't the 'Smurf' Hut. Nice one mate, great images, thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately from our perspective (finding the answer, that is), there are a lot of aboriginal languages...

....but there aren't too many PWS maps. This National Park isn't too big and is mostly high altitude......

Too true, Tibboh! I'm actually meant to be studying and cut short my investigation... Just a comment on what ILUV found.
