Hi,
Today a friend and I went out along Lady Talbot drive from Marysville to walk up to Lake mtn. the back way . It wasn't too hot so that was in our favour . Lady Talbot road after Phantom falls is in a excremental condition, barely acceptable for 2 WD and better for a 4 WD rather than my little Jap. hatchback . I had it in Low gear much of the way. It was slow going .
We left the car at the Lady Talbot road/ Upper Taggerty Road Junction and walked up to the hut. The whole area by the road shoulders has been cleared of dead timber.
It is a nice little hut in a good quiet spot and it was my first visit there.
We took the topographical map and compass and found the track up to the Boundary hut ruins , heading East onto Lake Mtn.'s plateau. The walking track is in good order with newly added orange arrows on the trees and new looking signage at the Huts loop trail track intersection.
It is not too hard for a day walk at all even for non hiking addicts.
There was even a loo roll at the Keppell's hut poo house.
I now know how to evade the winter gate fee at Lake mtn. as long as I have a 4 WD and snow shoes and poles.
During the whole drive up there on Lady Talbot Drive and back , it was infested with Bunnies. They are a feral pest . The State Government needs to get some funds together, pull out their collective fingers and eradicate these bunnies. They are breeding like rabbits.
