Great shots Annie, you must be happy with that trip. You sure have opened every ones eyes to just how great this track is.

I'm glad you like the photos, it's nice to be able to share a bit of something that I enjoyed so much. I'm surprised it's not more well known, but then it doesn't go anywhere that is really obvious from anywhere else. It is nice to have places that are not quite so well visited too although there were quite a few entries in the log book part way in.

Thanks also Annie. I ahve only been as far as Rinadenna Falls. You answered one question I was going to ask all - is the Scaporia out? I asked someone once "When does the Scaporia come out at The Walls?" The answer I got was "usually when you are not there!"

How long did the walk take?

Gerry

Sorry Gerry, I never saw this question. To tell the truth I can't remember, but it took me a lot longer than the 5 hours I was expecting, probably about 7 hours including a fairly leisurely lunch. I think if you found a good route up to the plateau it would be quicker though. The drive to the start of the track is also long.
