Mount Arthur 19th Oct with BWT Strollers
Tue 21 Oct, 2008 7:47 am
A few photos I took with The Boss' new camera on the Mount Arthur walk with the "BWT Strollers" last Sunday. The next day-walk is yet to be organised (next overnighter is Claude, Vandyke, Roland) but all are welcome! 
Some wise-heads try to work out what they're looking at!
It's Launceston you fools! Doesn't look so bad from up there!
Pomysi investigates the damage to the kiosk (can't buy a pie and chips there any more).
On a more serious note, the level of vandalism up there was shocking.
Even the solar panels had taken a pounding (notice one on the left smashed).
Normally I'd say this was probably blown over in a storm, but up there I'd suggest it's had help.
That's what we came to see!
Simon investigates the huge beehive cairn.
The cairn hides the visitors book! Signed by The Strollers, including a plug for the forums!
Back at the cars, a good walk had by all! Sthughes is still baiting flyfisher though....

Glad to hear you guys (and girl) had a good time. It looks as though the cairn has escaped vandalism.

I can remember when the first fire tower was being built.As I was attending Lilydale school at the time. The components were taken up with a helicopter from the Lilydale football oval in Doaks road. (Back in the Seventies.)

Looks like you had a great day. Did you check out the new fire lookout/hut near the summit?
