22nd August Half Day Tour

Today Rob and Ann joined us on a half day tour. Rob had booked his tour months ago and timed it perfectly, lucking into perfect touring conditions in the morning out along the Razorback and Bon Accord Spur.

If he had booked for yesterday, the tour would have been cancelled, as conditions were atrocious!

We headed out from Diamantina and ambled down the spectacular snowy ridgeline of upper Bon Accord spur.

We had a lovely stop for morning tea
and cookies amongst the snowgums, sheltering from the wind.

With the temperature well below zero and the clouds and wind increasing, we headed top JB Plain. We had alovely snowgum ramble, stopping for views of Mt Tabletop.

We also stopped for a chat with David Chitty from Adventure Guides Australia who was out scouting the snow conditons for a school group he is teaching next week.

Rob has expressed an interest in our Sno Treks next year - 5 day snowshoe treks in the backcountry, including snow camping and peak bagging!
