Murrindindi Revisted

Turned out to be a hot 34 degree day for the stroll (climb) up to Wilhemina Falls.  Even though I had been in this area before I had not seen these falls. They are more of a gusher across the slabs than a direct fall but still well worth the walk.  The approach is a tad sanitised with a number of steel staircases and chain link aids.  The old saw mill sites have been converted into camp grounds (user payment system at the reserve entrance) complete with shaded picnic tables and revolving hotplates over the firepits. This generation of walkers are spoiled.

38 yar ago we made a bed out of fern fronds and had an hours kip at 1:00 am before moving on to find more control points and ultimately the hash house (Now Fern camp).

Couldn't resist a paddle at the cascades seeing it was a hot day.  Yet another old sawmill site that makes for a good picnic area.
