The walk today was to Frying Pan Hills which is west of Mount Wellington and not far from Lachlan.
There were a couple of reasons to do this walk and one was to check out a couple of old sawmill sites for old machinery and second to walk to a rocky outcrop with the hope of some views.
I set out from the Jefferys Track and walked uphill before entering Wellington Park where the "gate"had been repaired since my last visit.

I kept going uphill to where I turned off to Mount Charles last time and took the left track today which immediately started going downhill to where Oneys Creek crossed the track. I could here a small waterfall just off the road and decided to check it out on the way back. On the way there were a few views to the north west.

From here I walked down to Oneys Creek and then down to the waterfall. It was only a small waterfall..dainty I would call it but it was nice in there.
After this I regained the track and walked back to the car.
This was a much better walk than I was expecting and it produced a few unexpected surprises.
