Half a tick off our bucket list..
Left Rosedale approx 5pm Friday night, got to our first camp, Horseyard flat, Moroka Rd about 7.30. Had the place to ourselves, so crashed in the hut that night.
Up early Saturday morning to beat the heat. F
irst stop. The Pinnacles.
Nice easy drive. Walk about 200 metres to the house, then almost vertically another 100m up to the fire tower. They say on a clear day you can see the ocean from up there. Not quite clear enough for us, that day.
Billy goats from the top of the pinnacles
Off to Billy goats..
Going down was not a challenge at all, although slow due to the steep rocky sections. I think I need to look at lockers now, as I had to ride the brakes quite often but The 60 just walked down.
Made it to Talbotville via the Crooked River tk by around lunch time. By then it was getting pretty warm, so found a shady tree and did nothing all arvo.
If you like your privacy while camping, Talbotville is not the place to be during summer.. Lots kids, motorbikes and p!ssheads.. Left T'ville 8.30ish on Sunday, coffee at Black snake Creek hut, then home.
All in all, a nice weekend. Only noticed some damage when we got home. Not sure why this happened.
Hoping to do it again, but going up, this time. Also hoping to do Blue Rag in 4/5 weeks time.
