Thanks for the pictures... great stuff!

I have yet to do the full traverse and these inspire me to want to do it even more in the not too distant future.

Great set of photos, that sunset was certainly something special, I would put it as one of, if not the best I have ever witnessed. The last one looks like a great little spot to camp in good weather.

I like to traverse the WA's in January because the sun rises along the spine of the range - giving good sunrises. But - then the sunsets are not so great - it sets more to the south. Nice to see the April sunset - with the sun setting close to Greystone Bluff.

Hi Sam,

It was nice to share the traverse with you, and great to see your photos. Here is an action shot of you capturing the sunset from Mt Columba.
