Logs
Along with Blossom*, Strike A Light and Gogo Go, we nailed this trig on another beautiful day in the glorious Barrington Tops, on an overnight walk which included Mt Royal, and a return along the Fal Pinnacle ridge.

What a fabulous spot! We camped at the Youngville campground and set off next morning to climb up Mt Royal and make our way along the Mt Royal Range northwards to Mt Cockcrow where we camped at the base for the night (great camping spot, although the gale force winds were very noisy in the trees above us!) We then climbed up to this trig next morning and what a view from the top!!! Back via Fal Pinacle which was another lovely ridge to walk along (with some rather lump, clumpy grass to slow us down).
