We rested at the cliff edge and lunched. Before us were the coastlands from Port Kembla to Kiama spread out like a map. To the south the clouds were thickening and lowering. Lunch soon completed, we followed the power lines over the cliff and commenced the descent of the ridge. This can be done at a very respectable speed, but some not being so sure on their feet, our pace remained moderate. Two hundred feet down, it started to drizzle. Groundsheets and capes were donned, and the descent continued until we came on a fence.

Drifts of snow on the hillsides were reflected in the blue waters of the lake. High to the right was the white quartzite mountain top and extending down from the gap between the two mountain peaks was a huge glazier-like mass of snow that extended for hundreds of feet. | ||

Like most folks we found a much easier route down, following a marked track. One feels extremely grateful to the enthusiasts - whoever they may be - who go out and mark those routes. Hours of effort are saved by knowing just where to go. | ||

+ | It was a lovely summer day. Bright sunshine and a cool breeze. The visibility was grand and we looked out over an amazing variety of peaks and valleys, and I had my first impression of the countless lakes and tarns that seem strewn all over Tasmania. | ||
