Rusden Head Track, Morton NP
The drive in and out passed under these rocky overhangs.
Main Range Walk & Mt Townsend, Kosciuszko National Park
A big old snow gum near the start. I don't think I saw another tree close up on the whole walk.
Booroomba Rocks Peak from Honeysuckle Campground
That Flame Robin again.
Mount Sentinel via Blue Lake & Mt Twynam
Looking up at Mount Sentinel. Sophia to the right for a bit of scale.
Nichols Gorge Track, Kosciuszko NP
The rocks at Blue Water Hole.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
Sophia fell into a bog further down in Monolith Valley, so here she is drying herself out at our lunch spot near the chained section of Nibelung Pass.
Waterfall Walking Track, Kosciuszko National Park NSW
Mount Sentinel via Blue Lake & Mt Twynam
Bomaderry Creek Circuit, Bomaderry NSW
These superb fairy wrens were flitting about at the end. Not the clearest of photos but good enough to make the cut. They are nice birds that we don't see much of in urban areas due to all the large aggressive birds that dominate there.
Macquarie Rivulet & Cascades Walks, Macquarie Pass NP
A humongous vine thingamabob.
Legoland Rocks, ACT
Sophia in the cavern.
Waterfall Walking Track, Kosciuszko National Park NSW
Good views at this section.
Drawing Room Rocks Track
You can look up the clear day views on the internet, and they are nice, but I think this shot is more interesting.
Bullocks Flat Circuit, Kosciuszko National Park
Whitewater Rockmaster. I liked the bokeh effect in the background
Mt Tate Circuit, Kosciuszko National Park
Billy Button
Mount Sentinel via Blue Lake & Mt Twynam
Porcupine Rocks, Mt Duncan & Mt Wheatley, Kosciuszko National Park
This was my favourite of the big rocks.
Legoland Rocks, ACT
The cavern at Legoland.
Mt Twynam, Little Twynam, Blue Lake, & Hedley Tarn, Kosciuszko National Park
I see lots of crickets on alpine walks. This was one that I amazingly was able to photograph with my phone in a very short break between jumping.
Mt Gingera from Corin Dam
Detail of a snowgum I liked on the summit.
Mt Gingera from Corin Dam
No prizes for guessing which way is south. Must be bloody cold up there sometimes.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
A new flower for me. We've not walked in this area at this time of year so I saw a few new wildflowers.
Shepherd's Lookout and Tong's Hole, ACT
Nice profile shot.
Booroomba Rocks, Namadgi National Park
Another pleasing mushroom shot.
Nichols Gorge Track, Kosciuszko NP
An alpine flower.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
I occasionally coax Sophia to take a picture of me. This is her shot of me climbing one of the monoliths to take more pictures of more monoliths. It was pretty steep but the rocks were very 'sticky' so it wasn't hard getting up.
Molonglo Gorge Nature Reserve to Blue Tiles
Mt Stilwell Track, Kosciuszko National Park NSW
Clarke Gorge Track, Kosciuszko NP
Clarke Gorge. Not too shabby.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
One of a few new flowers I encountered on this walk. I very much liked these rather delicate blooms that I saw in just one spot. (It was a moist area).
Clarke Gorge Track, Kosciuszko NP
I took a quick detour to see the gorge from up top.
The Castle Track, Morton NP
Sophia climbing The Castle; the tail of the Tadpole in the background.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
The walls of the Castle on our return.
Molonglo Gorge Nature Reserve to Blue Tiles
Interesting striation.
Buddong Falls Track, Kosciuszko NP
The upper section of the Lower Buddong Falls; they carried on below us. 60m of cascades all up.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
These flowers were all over, and i took a few too many pictures of them. They were quite vibrant.
Tidbinbilla Mountain Circuit ACT
Wallaby in the car park.
Mount Sentinel via Blue Lake & Mt Twynam
The walk back up from The Sentinel.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
The entrance to Monolith Valley.
Molonglo Gorge Nature Reserve to Blue Tiles
Wide angle shot with my phone.
Bundanoon Short Walks
Clarke Gorge Track, Kosciuszko NP
Entering Clarke Gorge.
Bundanoon Short Walks
We stopped and turned around here on Nicholas Pass.
Booroomba Rocks Peak from Honeysuckle Campground
If this wasn't in the middle of the bush I'd have sworn it was man made. Bizarre patterning in the rock.
The Castle Track, Morton NP
Looking down the tail of the Tadpole. This name refers to the shape of the Castle from above.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
This rock in the foreground looks quite big here, but on the next photo you can see it was dwarfed by some of the other rocks.
Mt Twynam, Little Twynam, Blue Lake, & Hedley Tarn, Kosciuszko National Park
A variety of alpine plants on a hillside near Hedley Tarn.
Bomaderry Creek Circuit, Bomaderry NSW
Regrowth after bushfire. Many Australian trees have developed various adaptations for dealing with fire, and these are re-sprouting through their fairly fire resistant bark.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
Sophia down below, taking a picture of me taking a picture of her.
Rusden Head Track, Morton NP
Interesting mushrooms.
Tidbinbilla Mountain Circuit ACT
This, I believe, is a semi-slug. Never seen one before, and I was happy to get this photo. Had to be quick with my camera 😉
Waterfall Walking Track, Kosciuszko National Park NSW
Mt Twynam, Little Twynam, Blue Lake, & Hedley Tarn, Kosciuszko National Park
The snow gums near the end of the road at Charlotte Pass are very attractive. A few more photos of these to follow...
Bomaderry Creek Circuit, Bomaderry NSW
Sophia waiting patiently for me as I take too many pictures (...as usual).
Mt Twynam, Little Twynam, Blue Lake, & Hedley Tarn, Kosciuszko National Park
Snow Gum
Granite Falls Track
The falls were 63m high.
Monolith Valley to Nibelung Pass, Budawangs
Interesting rock colours and patterns, possibly caused by water dripping across the rock face, although I could be wrong.
Shepherd's Lookout and Tong's Hole, ACT
What you looking at?
Bomaderry Creek Circuit, Bomaderry NSW
Peeling bark on a spotted gum.
Plateau Walk & Cottage Rock Track, Kanangra-Boyd NP
An exposed coal seam on the track just before the descent to the saddle, where you then find the faint turn off (right) to Cottage Rock.
Booroomba Rocks, Namadgi National Park
Portrait version of those cliffs.
Booroomba Rocks Peak from Honeysuckle Campground
A flame robin. (No relation to the European robins.)
Booroomba Rocks Peak from Honeysuckle Campground
Wallaby on the way back. It stood there long enough for me to change my lens and take a few photos.
Mt Twynam, Little Twynam, Blue Lake, & Hedley Tarn, Kosciuszko National Park
Snow Gum
Waterfall Walking Track, Kosciuszko National Park NSW
Probably the biggest of the big boulders on this walk.

Mt Tate with a very small tarn in the foreground.

The Castle walls. You get some idea of the scale on this photo.
