Yup, great photos Rachael...thanks for the inspiration.
I haven't been to Murcho yet but think it will have to go higher up on the future walks list

Very Nice Rachel, would have loved to join you on that one. What are the approx walk times?

Lovely photos - you had a great day and it shows you need to get up in the morning to get the basin nicely lit up.

3 points, I was expecting it to be 1 point. The points must have been allocated before the Anthony Rd was accessible to the public.
Eggs, we were at the top about 2 pm I think, not very early.
Dan, if you will go flying around the country you will miss out on walks! I've read 4 hours as a there and back time, it says 5 hours on the sign at the bottom, and we took more than 6, but it was very leisurely with some prolonged stops.
Chris said he read about there being a circuit walk around the rim which would be nice to do, I'd also love to get into the lakes in the bottom, although I suspect that could be fairly difficult. It's a walk I'd be happy to do again, although I might be lucky to get the weather so good.
