Thanks. It's a great area. Possibly my favourite part of the Reserve.
Pity you didn't get out to Macs while you were there. It's easily doable from Elysia as a daywalk.

Hahaha another well written report. I love your blogs, well done and thanks

Yeah, we were initially considering it, but ended up going for the lazy option and just hanging out at Walled Mountain for the day.

Other options were Mt Eros from Helios and Mt Olympus on the way out...

Gives us an excuse to visit the area again!

If it weren't for the irrefutable photographic evidence and constant references to sights of un-imaginable beauty I could easily suspect Andrew Gaskell to be a sad spotty creature of the night hunkered over the eyrie green glow of a computer monitor littered with stale half consumed cans of Red Bull dreaming up wild adventures in parallel universes !! I can imagine the wrinkled old chain smoking pensioner in the apartment next door assuming the role of Andrew's long suffering father as he conjures these wild adventures from his over active imagination.

I am in as much awe of your crazy imagination and radical trip reports as I am of your real time adventures in Tassies wild places.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Ha ha, thanks AL.

I only turn into that spotty creature during the months between significant walks...

A nice little wander, especially liked Gould & getting on & off Massif. Great trip report. At least this time we found the car at the end!

Not sure I'd describe myself as wrinkled and old just yet!!

[gaskella]

Is your username deliberately misspelt thylacine/thylaseen?

Or is that a dad joke? As in thyla seen??

I suppose you're not so wrinkled...

[Thylaseen]

A dad joke I'm afraid, as in seen a Thylacine?

[gaskella]

To be fair, the line "there is Gould in him, I can feel it" was just as bad... I was cringing as I wrote it!
