Bushwalk Australia

Some pics from today. Lucky with the weather. Colour might improve over the next few days.

Some lovely colour there Robi - thanks.
Where were they taken?

Looks like he got to drive up Mt Read. I didn't realise there was so much fagus up there.

Fagus abuts the western side of the famous alpine Huon pine up there.

The photographer parked near one of the locked gates and walked up.
Info is in "The Abels" volume two. The book mentions 21 sq km of fagus.

Doesn't Mt Read have the largest single patch of gunnii - something measured in acres?? I recall mention of something like that in the relevent Abels book.

Edit

Obviously I took a while between writing and submitting that comment.

Thanks robi and others. Shame about all the towers etc on top, but having just read the Abel description, Mt Read is now on my "must visit some time" list. Sounds like it would be great in Spring as well as Fagus time.
Before this, it was just a mysterious mountain somewhere in the West which had apparently replaced Gray as being the most-mentioned high rainfall site in daily BOM reports
