Tarn Shelf Fault



Tuesday 27 February 2024

When you look towards Mount Bridges from Snowgum Track lookout there is a distinct split in the land. This walk included a visit to that site but getting down to it was further than my memory of it. The really sheer cliffy part entailed getting down sloping rock, but it was unknown how difficult it would be to climb out, we didn't go down to the floor. Prior to this the walk was along Tarn Shelf to the northern end of Johnston Tarn and descending to a ledge with numerous pools and on to the wide saddle with Mount Bridges.


On the way out we were treated to a cup of tea at Oldina ski lodge.
