June Walks

We walked at Crows Nest creek on the 24th and it was good to see water in it for a change. It was looking much better after some rain as it had been very dry when we were there last year. On the weekend we camped near the base of Mt Superbus prior to an early ascent of the Steamer Range. It was a steep climb but we did it on a very good day, with good company in Ian, Adrian, Rodney and Warwick. Six others left at 6 am for a long circuit around the Steamers to the Lincoln wreck, returning in the dark.
After the climb through rainforest, we walked below the vertical walls of the funnel to the eastern end, where we climbed up and along for morning tea on the western end of the funnel overlooking the mast and canopy far below. [photo by Adrian Jansen]

Lunch was on the eastern edge at Mt Steamer where the view to the north was somewhat obscured by smoke from a fire on Mt Greville. It was a steep descent north to the Steamer saddle, then a short climb to a nice spur with large brush box trees. Further west we returned along an old logging track which descended into the valley and back around the prow of the range.
I really like the Main Range. Score one tick on spine.
