 We looked back from the very edge of Narrowneck across all that wonderful playground of mountains, valleys, creeks, and tree-clad ridges of the High Gangerang. We looked towards the Blue Breaks and beyond, where ridge upon ridge merged into a blue-grey distance bordered by a flaming red sunset and it was a fitting conclusion to a glorious weekend. The acrid smell of cigarette smoke, however, reminded us that civilisation was near and we turned for the last leg: along the firetrail to Katoomba. We looked back from the very edge of Narrowneck across all that wonderful playground of mountains, valleys, creeks, and tree-clad ridges of the High Gangerang.

 David Rostron's Three Peaks walk began in the cheerful atmosphere of Aroney's Cafe over a decidedly decadent variety of food of which Dr. Pritikin would most certainly not have approved. "Oh, we'll burn off all the excess calories over the weekend" was the general excuse. Discussion of pack weights led to the revelation that nobody had actually managed to get down to the prescribed limit, and I think each one of us felt a little relieved (I did anyway). David Rostron's Three Peaks walk began in the cheerful atmosphere of Aroney's Cafe over a decidedly decadent variety of food of which Dr. Pritikin would most certainly not have approved.

 The walk along Narrowneck began at 8.10 pm precisely, with a cool breeze, a clear sky and a nearly full moon. We soon warmed to the pace, however, and the party moved buoyantly along in excellent spirits. The lights of Sydney were clear to our left and the east, whilst the cool rock walls of Narrowneck on our right overlooked the Megalong Valley where shone the occasional light of a solitary farmhouse. Taro's ladders were reached and climbed down in good time, and we skipped over Mt. Debert and down to Medlow Gap by excellent moonlight with the occasional torch illumination. The walk along Narrowneck began at 8.10 pm precisely, with a cool breeze, a clear sky and a nearly full moon.

 On Jim Percy's advice that the river level had been quite high recently it was decided to cross at the first opportunity.

 After some riverside walking, the foot of the Kooriecone Ridge was reached and the climbing began. Like many of the ridges it starts off steeply and is clear of scrub. It is unrelenting in its ascent however. A steady plod took us in due time to Gentle's Pass where we climbed through a tree-fern gully to emerge on top of the cliff line. We were rewarded with a splendid view of the Kowmung Gorge, with in the distance the Broken Rock Range. Unfortunately some members of the party missed the pass and an enforced wait lost us some time, although it was agreeably spent drinking in the superb views in the clear morning sunshine with the air as crisp as a sparkling wine. After some riverside walking, the foot of the Kooriecone Ridge was reached and the climbing began.

 When we were all together again a course was set to Dex Creek. It became evident, however, that Malcolm was not going too well. He looked very pale indeed and at Dex Creek finally admitted defeat. Spiro generously offered to accompany him back to Kanangaroo Clearing, and after some discussion David indicated that he too would return with Spiro. That left Jim Laing, Jim Percy, Ian Rannard and myself. As we were already running well behind schedule we departed hurriedly for Cloudmaker. When we were all together again a course was set to Dex Creek.

Four months later we arrived at our primary destination of Cairns, after enjoying National Parks, coastal islands, and the hospitality of friends and relatives on the way. Having cycled the 3 1/2 thousand kilometres to Cairns, we decided to make the effort and cycle an extra 150 kilometres north to Cape Tribulation, to see this controversial area for ourselves. Last February we left Sydney on an extended cycling trip northwards along the east coast.

-"STORMBREAKER!*?!" I thought. "How can I climb five more peaks like that?" However I kept on walking and two minutes later we reached the top of Mt. Cloudmaker. After a quick rest and a check of the compass and map, we walked down the south-east ridge off Cloudmaker. Now, there was not much of track, evidently not many people go down to the Hundred-Man Cave. We walked down the ridge for about an hour until we reached a fairly flat area. Here we turned north-east, crossed a creek, and walked on through the trees.+"**Stormbreaker!*?!**" I thought.

We found the trees and walked along the edge of the plateau until we found a small gully which led off it.
