This was a backup location on the way back from the south coast, although I can't actually remember what the initial objective of the day was. I know things didn't go to plan as we ended up doing only this and the mega ruined Fraser Range, which wasn't ideal, but thems the breaks. By the time we arrived here time was already chopping on, and so we had a race against the weak fading light of a cold Christmas Eve afternoon to see as much as we could before heading back.
Thanks for looking
