Mt Fraser

17 June 2007

The walk comprised of nine enthusiastic walkers all with the one aim of reaching the top of Mt Fraser. We started at the base of Mt Fraser bordering on several properties. It meant scrambling through several fences passing two dead and smelly goats.

The walk up the ridge was gradual but with a lot of enthusiasm we walked up several logging tracks exploring various options and avoiding a mass of loose rocks. Eventually we reached the top of the ridge where we partook of morning tea with views of the surrounding valleys. Following morning tea we trekked on further to reach the top of Mt Fraser, once again with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

We then went back down from the summit to a spot that had a great view of Mt Greville and had lunch. Following lunch we then negotiated our way back down the mountain to the cars. We drove back to Kalbar where we enjoyed a revitalising coffee.

Many thanks to Muriel, Nigel, John Morris, Dean, John Hinton, John Brunott (for his knowledge and guidance) Jill and George who made the walk very enjoyable and a great day out. Gil
