Border Ranges

26 - 28 January 2001

Four people made their way firstly to the Big Mac at Beaudesert to regroup and continue to Forest Tops via the Lions Road at approximately 4:00pm. In clear weather the tents were set up and in the cool a pleasant night’s sleep was obtained.

Fridays walk was Brindle Creek to the Antarctic Beech area past the beautiful Selva Falls. Paul and Barbara arrived just prior to our start of that walk. After lunch at the Antarctic Beech area we proceeded along the circuit which gives a tremendous view of the Mt Warning caldera. From there we could also see the spectacular Pinnacle. Most were very impressed if not awe-inspired.

Saturday found us clambering out to the Pinnacle which gives a birds-eye view of the caldera. Saturday night’s menu was iron pot casserole and Barbara’s beaut big hot scones followed by billy tea.

Sunday’s walk was from Forest Tops to Sheepstation Creek with a swim at the end. A minor car shuttle with thanks to Paul facilitated this walk. Ed Thistlethwaite
