AAWT - Day 16 - Ghost Gully Camp to the old Telegraph Poles

A day walk in the fog on the June long weekend.

Typical view for today- fog and swamps

The old firetrail still shown on some maps has all but disappeared

Track to Millers Hut

The end of the line

At the end of the line of telegraph poles I decided to head back to Ghost Gully Camp. I'd spent a lot of time tooling around looking for old trails, the weather was bad and I was packed for day walking only. Heading back, I drifted away from the telegraph poles and could not see them in the fog, so set the compass for North and headed for Port Philip Trail. At first I was unnerved at having lost the poles, but the walking was so lovely and open that I was soon enjoying myself thoroughly (the song You Can Go Your Own Way was playing in my head). I was also rewarded with subalpine views of the Murrumbidgee that would have been otherwise missed.
