Antarctic Beech Walk

I've been spending some time going through old pics and came across these I thought I'd share with you. This track is at Gloucester Tops where the Gloucester Falls walks are located but concentrates more on vegetation. Many of these trails were only opened after WWII and the creek pictured here doesn't even have a name (according to NPWS when I spoke with them). P.S. I know the photo captions contain a misspelling!

The walk isn't that long, say one to two hours but you have the option to branch out onto other walks.
They are located at Gloucester Falls up on Gloucester Tops in Barrington National Park. The turnoff from The Bucketts Way (or Thunderbolt's Way) is clearly marked about 10 kms short of Gloucester coming from the south.
