Brindabella Bushwalking Club - Wednesday Walk
Stockyard Spur Walking Track to a Lookout en route Pryor’s Hut and return
12 kms : 5 hours : 800m+ elevation
6oC Misty rain
An exacting walk today, from the onset, as we headed straight up the Stockyard Spur and the steps and descents on our return.
The sub-alpine area with the forest of snow gums was stunning, enhanced by the light rain.
Lots of tired bodies afterwards.
A chilly morning. Here we are selecting the correct number of layers.
The realisation that we had quite a climb from the onset.
View back to Corin Dam
2kms later up the Spur we reached the clearing for the helicopter pad.
Catching our breath with morning tea
Stunning gums and rock formations
The lookout..and our lunch spot
Pleased to have made it
The mist rolls in and the temperature drops
Some attractive distractions along the way...
And down we go..
Listening to the calls of lyrebirds as we descended
Welcome views of the dam
