The circuit part of this walk was off-track on and beside Thark Ridge through pleasant country ranging from alpine moor through snowgum woods and open heathy sections. Part of the walk followed a rock slab slope, the start marked with a couple of old cairns, which were spotted by the eagle eyed in our party (that is not by me). We started at Big Bend and went over the high point on the southern section of Thark and returned on part of the Devils Throne track.
The old fire trail, on the western side of Thark, had some bare areas and in other parts the line could be discerned. We ventured on to the plain at one point and could see the old walking track that went to Devils Throne. It is recovering well and the section of former fire trail leading to it is rapidly overgrowing now that it not used for access.
