Gallery of log for Drake TS
Found this one on a map and decided to go out and check if it was still there. There's some abandoned mines (just the diggings now) closeby so I wanted to have a look there too. The walk to the trig is steep. It's an old road - but only a hardcore 4x4 would get up here now. It's heavily rutted, logs over the path and bloody slippery with just the smallest shower of rain. As you walk up and get closer to the top of the mountain, some awesome views flash between the trees. It's now that you realise just how high the altitude is. Then up the last twist on the track, and the trig becomes visible. In excellent condition, except the name plate is missing. The northerly views from the cement pad that the trig is on are amazing - can see right up over the Timbarra area and towards the QLD border. One of my favourite trig adventures of all time. I'll be checking out the Richmond TS further south over the next few weeks.
