A bushwalk doesn’t always have to involve slogging through mud and fighting back bush so thick it may as well be a brick wall.
Sometimes it can be comfortable and come with a glass of wine and some nice cheese at night.
Stacks Bluff: 20th August 2022
![A sign saying Stacks Bluff points to the left](/posts/2022-08-20-stacks-bluff/IMG_7418_hu8a980e5c51920c11246c038f8d9e9f81_3318397_200x0_resize_q75_box.jpeg)
Sometimes you get to visit a mountain that you’ve wanted to visit for ages. Sometimes you visit a mountain because it is close.
It’s best when both are true.

Olympus, Gould and Byron - but Ida escapes again!

Regular readers of this blog will know that Dash and I seem to like to do walks that are long, remote and often psychologically painful. So when planning for this one, we were after something a little easier and relaxing.
But as usual, even the best, well intentioned ideas go awry.
Mount Field East (circuit)
![A pile of rocks with a blue sky](/posts/mount-field-east-circuit/IMG_3715-scaled_huab95f9631d0697819666a9893456da53_633569_200x0_resize_q75_box.jpg)
It was time to visit Mount Field again… but this time it was time to tackle something new: Mount Field East.
The weather was lovely, and the maps were waterproof.
Western Arthurs - the walk I'd been waiting so long to do!
![Lake Oberon with the Western Arthur Range surrounding it](/posts/western-arthurs-jan-2021/IMG_0015_hu6a55ada1344d20ce35390fcd61b5317a_1122126_200x0_resize_q75_box.jpg)
Collins Bonnet, Trestle and Mount Marian
![Three red mushrooms on the forest floor](/posts/collins-bonnet-trestle-and-mount-marian/IMG_1161_hu30910665284931ace4f57faa1e01d828_648407_200x0_resize_q75_box.jpg)
After trying to get to Collins Bonnet a few weeks back, I figured I should attempt again now my main impediment had been removed.
The access track from Wellington had reopened, allowing me to start the walk from The Big Bend and walk in via Mount Connection.
Frenchman's Cap - December 2020
![Frenchman's Cap lit by early morning sun](/posts/frenchmans-cap-december-2020/frenchman-thumbnail_hu7b9ae58df0965ade06b4f79e88330d31_3497141_200x0_resize_q75_box.jpg)
I have long wanted to walk to Frenchman’s Cap, I’ve just never been able to convince anyone to come with me.
And I couldn’t find anyone to come with me in December 2020 either, so I just went by myself. The weather forecast looked amazing. I had a weekend. Why not go?
The Collins Bonnet that wasn't
Walls to Lake St Clair (via Rotuli, Three Arm, a shitload of scrub, the Mountains of Jupiter, more scrub and some of the Traveller Range). Also a lost map.
