Some shots from a recent trip into the Long Tarns to climb a few Abels - Clumner Bluff, Mersey Crag and Turrana Bluff. Fantastic trip and I highly recommend the two Bluffs (Mersey is a bit unassuming but it's an easy walk). Clumner especially has probably the best uninterrupted view of the Cradle Mt - Lake St Clair NP mountains going The walk in past Rinadeena Falls (formerly Little Fisher Falls) is also pretty special.

Tip of the day - don't approach Clumner from Long Tarns, it takes *&%$#! ages. Go in from Dublin Road like the Abels book says.
Shot with an EM5, m.ZD 17mm and m.ZD 45mm
Little Fisher River bridge - closed! This adds about 45mins to the walk in.
