Tuesday 14 November 2017
Quite a hot day, but it wasn’t until we got down to lower
altitudes in the afternoon that it was particularly noticeable. Nevertheless, we sweated a good deal from the
start of the walk.

| Lost World at Mount Arthur |
Once above the sandstone cliffs on the Old Hobartian track
the golden rosemary and cheeseberries were in abundance and delightful. It was
good to reach the Lost World as that signalled the end of the up for a while
and a break for lunch. First though we explored a fissure in the boulders and
worked a way into an underground cavern, but a torch would be needed to explore
further and probably a rope ladder.

Lunchtime entertainment was watching rock climber attempt to
scale a cliff, but he hadn’t made it to the top by the time we departed. On
reaching the road the choice made was to walk on it to the Chalet and the track
then followed down to the carpark. Before doing so an old track was visited
where it crossed a scree, thanks to Alan knowing about it.
