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

| 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.
