Interesting, thanks. I have only approached the area from Gungartan.

From what I understand the Boltons accessed their holding via Daveys then Reids on the Burrungubugge. Then up and over into Tolbar Ck. Must have been hard going getting out of there? Apparently the SMA built a hut on Tolbar ck but I don't think it is still there?

What type of tent is in your picture?
And how big was the Finn river, just little holes amongst the tussocks or a creek with ponds and water races?
Thanks

Finns river was surprisingly substantial for a body of water up there. Up around the swamp it was wide and shallow, easy to cross. Down around the 1550m mark where I crossed, it was moving deep and fast. It was around waist deep where I crossed. During snow melt It would be a torrent. I would like to explore it a bit more. There were some cascades I spied in the distance that might be worth further exploration.
Cheers.

I am planning a trip in there in the next few weeks.
The cascades spied in the distance has me a bit concerned and it does look a bit like waterfall type area on the topo map but nothing ventured nothing gained and it will answer a question I have been asking myself for the past few years

Nice country though.
