Report:
What a glorious day. The sun was shining; there had been recent rains so the vegetation had a wonderful aroma and the walking was terrific.
We all met at Koroit at 7am with the first stop at Cavendish for 2nd breakfast and cuppas. We lingered for quite awhile so I had to rally the troops. We found Mt Stapylton camp ground easy enough and headed towards the track which leads from Mt Zero car park. The walking at this stage was quite easy so we were able to enjoy the bush. There were no orchids out but you could feel they were on the way. Once we joined the other track the walking became more strenuous as we headed for Bird Rock. The final climb to the top can be a bit challenging for those who don’t like heights but everyone did well. At the top we rested and had lunch, how easy it would have been to have a nap, but we had a long journey back.
We turned off the main track shortly after the rock scrambling down; this track enabled us to actually do a loop back to the cars. We climbed quite high again between 2 large rock formations. At this point we could turn and look back to where we had been and beyond, it was truly breath taking.
Once back at the cars we headed back to Cavendish again for another “brief” stop and then home.
Thank you to Coralie and Diane who kept me on the right track and to the others for an extremely enjoyable day. We will have to put it on again later in the year.
Linda
