Had a day in and around the South Arthur River Forest Drive, very pleasant.
Well signposted and easy to find places.
Enjoyed both the sinkhole and rainforest walks at Julius River.
Lake Chisholm walk was short and sweet but picturesque.
I have posted a picture from Dempster lookout that has been on before and i couldn't believe the Button Grass growth. The hills in the distance I take are on Norfolk Range, could someone correct me if this is not correct.
Rapid River road is still closed.
We didn't do the walk down to Beckett Falls as we didn't let anyone know where we were going and didn't wish to have a mishap on the way down and not be found (funny how you become more careful with age).
This brings me to a question - the bit at the top where it start to descend at a reasonably sharp rate and goes around the rocky narrow ledge, is that the worst part of the descent? From what I could gather that appears to be the worst of it and if so we'll let someone know next time and do the whole trip to the bottom.
Lots of good fungi appearing already, might be a good year for it.

- My favourite, on the way in to Lake Chisholm, gotta fluke a good one now and again.

- Looking across Dempster Plains, I am assuming those hills are Norfolk Range?

Hi Davo,
wife and i have done the walk into Beckett falls, we did it without too much trouble, just have to be a little cautious in a couple of places and we are far from experienced bushwalkers. It is worth a look though quite impressive and the Rapid River road is only closed because of the bridge but i have driven over it twice since it been supposedly closed and the last time we were out we just crossed the river next to the bridge on the downstream side (river was down pretty low though). Tim
