It's not all about peakbagging points. Detached Peak and Starfish Hill aren't on the list, but they're both well worth visiting, especially the Starfish. The camping down on Fake Pedder is not too shabby either; just remember to take your tripod and get out of the tent early.

Between New Pelion Hut and Pelion Gap the track climbs adjacent to the Douglas River. I was aware of others exploring the banks of the river finding some lovely spots. So on my second visit to this track we took care to follow some pads to some small falls. The lower section was particularly captivating with the complete cover of moss over the rocky edges.

Being obsessive can give great gifts. Koruna had been socked in when I first climbed it, so a return was needed; this also gave a chance to explore the ridge behind it, even more necessary when checking maps made it clear that the peakbaggers list had the summit in the wrong place. It's a hard area to leave when the conditions are right, so one last high camp ...

Therabulat LookoutIandsmith

I'd never heard of it but was doing a house sit at Katoomba and the house owners said there was a trail not far away so, off I went one day on a quiet track (something of a rarity around Katoomba) and eventually ended up at this site named after an aboriginal tribe that used to inhabit the area. It offered a totally different look at Narrow Neck.

A suitably apocalyptic end to the midpoint of the last walk before lockdown. I came out to a message saying "the world has changed"; had it ever. At least the storm 24 hours later meant wherever the fire was, it wouldn't get far. Farrell Point, Port Davey Track.

Tomorrow's challengeNorth-north-west

Having seen my companions off at the airport, I had a spare day before boarding the boat. It was time to visit the majestic Meander Falls which I had only seen from an airplane window till then.

The track follows the Meander River and its cascades are quite pretty before the final boulder hopping and arrival at the base of the double drop over the Great Western Tiers.

Lunch was had soaking in the scene before a loop return over some enormous screes and past Cleft Rock Falls.
