Devils Throne |
I set off from the large car park above Big Bend and made a bee line to the north western end of Dead Island. The going was quite easy and there was not a lot of water, but it can be quite wet in that area. Once near the start of the river I headed towards a scree field that I could see in the distance. There are hundreds of small water filled ponds in this area.

There is a sign that has been erected on the fire trail stating that the Scout Hut is closed.
This was a really good walk on a great day.

Pleased that you liked the reroute of part of the Devils Throne track. Hopefully a better route down from Thark Ridge will get approval soon, allowing further improvements.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your group's good work, Peter. That will certainly improve things when it is wet.
