Walls of Jerusalem

Had a great (but short) trip to the Walls in January and I though I'd share a few photos. Yeah I know that's four months ago, and I really don't have an excuse.

The first day was overcast with high cloud, which made for a coolish climb to Trappers Hut. Later we climbed The Temple and headed to Dixon's Kingdom to try and see a paltypus that had been reported in the creek. No luck there unfortunately.

Day 2 was one of those utterly perfect days in the Tassie bush. We climbed Solomon's Throne and walked the length of West Wall for a heap of great views. The walk out to the car that afternoon was a fair bit warmer than the trip in.
