Nice photo. Was there about 2 years ago. It's worth doing, a good short walk of about 5 or 6 km return. Fairly solid ~500m ascent. Traverses a variety of terrain including an interesting climb up through a steep boulder field. You have walk to the other side of the plateau on top to locate the summit. On approaching the top we met a couple coming back down and stopped for chat. They were from one of the local bushwalking clubs, possibly Launceston but my memory is hazy.

This thread is for all discussion of the photos or anything relating to the entries thread. Please do not post in the other thread unless you are posting a photo. This will make end of month judging etc much easier.

Cheers!

That's a good collection of photos for the first month of the competition series. Seems to be a bit of a fencing/farmyard theme this month! :-)

I agree. The standard of photos is excelent in fact seeing as this is first comp. I am just sorting some things out, the poll will be up tomorrow at latest.

If I had to call it at this stage I reckon Mickey or TAZDAZ are going to be very close. Mr Walkintas has awesome composition, just needs more pop, and tasadams is great exposure but i find the fences draw my eye into the trees in middle rather than into the mountain. Lovely colours and exposure on this one though. It really will be a close competition. Thanks all that entered again, Hopefully next month I can pull out an image for consideration :D

So when will the voting be closed and the winner officially announced?
Same goes for the March comp vote I suppose...
