Devils Throne

 Tuesday 30 April 2024

For second time this month the weather was not good and although we walked for about 20 minutes it was decided to turn around and give it away. It was clear driving up at The Springs, then became drizzly soon after but was not at Big Bend. However soon after leaving we encountered quite a bit of drizzle and it looked very uninviting ahead.

After a coffee at Lost Freight, I decided to go on a short walk and find a dry spot for lunch. There were a number of interesting things noted. First was a group including people with paramedic on the clothing and most with overnight packs, presumably some exercise.  Then along the Lenah Valley Track a bloke with a huge high pack, then when on the Sawmill Track a couple of couple of fellows ascending through the bush about 50 metres from the track.  I stopped for lunch at the little Sphinx rock and could hear them above me and the sound of something being moved.  Next came two young men setting up for bouldering at the real Sphinx Rock and finally back at the carpark a van with two tourists who drove over their bucket as the left. 

 

No photos taken today.  This was taken on a previous walk.
It was hoped that we would have had this view but the weather intervned.
