Due to persistent requests :wink: for more images from this area, here are some from a six day walk in December 2009 by a group of Taswegians which included some LWC & HWC members.

Amazing thanks Ian.
Doesnt look as much greenery on the plains as i'd have thought....

As I recall the story, the decision was made here to not continue with the traverse, but retrace their route back to Scotts Peak Dam.


PS - these are not my photos and I was not on this walk, but if forum members want further info from those involved, PM me and I will forward your enquiry so you can discuss this area privately, in accordance with forum rules.

I dount the Monoliths would be a sensitive area would they? Discussing open on the forum is probably not going to encourage hundreds of people to rush into this range.... none that know what the'd be getting themselves into anyway :lol:

Awesome pictures whoever they belong to, thanks very much for posting them Ian.

That's OK stu, I had intended posting them one day, as this area is rarely photographed in such good weather :D

Thanks Tas -Man. Fantastic looking place. My monthly lottery ticket didnt come up trumps, so no full time peak bagging for me. :( So many fantastic looking places to visit. Thanks for the glimpse into this very rarely visited place. I wonder how often it is visited? Once every 2-3 years perhaps. Great to daydream on future adventures.

ahh, Brings back some memories..

Is that crossing the Dodds river?
It took us 3hrs to find a way across, the water was way up - the comment way well lets just swim it - the reply was a quite resounding NO! We managed to find an island where the river split and reduced the water flow enough that we could find a way across. On the other side we found a fallen log. We got up onto the range and realised we'd grossly under estimated the time we needed.

Looks like the New Harbour Range, but bigger :shock: Aptly named. Thanks for posting Ian.

Yes! I think the expression on all their faces says something about the three days experience to that point :roll:

Probably Mt Maconochie.
