Converted the maps overnight. Mt Cole included, It depends as to which government division gets the allocation. Forestry or C&E, remebering how Wombat Forest management group were trying to change things and close down even camps in the forest.

It was just before that I became an EO member and met fellow activists at Daylesford. We had met a few EO Members at Firth Park, Mr & Mrs Al, Rock Crawler, Baz (Red Back) Member John (Vic). There were som others too. Geez it was cold those nights.

No worries Bonz, I didn't realise this feedback became a forum thread, I was just adding to the Trek feedback. But it was a great display of flowers earlier this week. Easy drive but very pleasant. Hit a roo on the way home through the Big Desert though.

Mt Abrupt and Mt Difficult are two excellent walks.

Mt Difficult I have done a couple of times, once just up and back from troopers, the second time as a circuit starting at Briggs Bluff carpark up Briggs Bluff then on to Mt. Difficult and down to troopers completing the circuit with a hike along the road back to the carpark.
