Mt Howitt - 6-8 April 2012


This is where we went; Taungurung Country.


Driving up Mt Terrible.




The view from up here was anything but terrible.


Howqua Inlet...pretty as a postcard.


Like an Arizona sunset.


The 22.5km hike rising 1000m took 10 hours to complete. We did this in a clockwise direction.


Rock hopping.


The beautiful Howqua River.




The Crosscut Saw looking an awfully long way away.


Soaking up the view during a well deserved rest.


Are they Lemmings traversing The Crosscut Saw?


The gradient just got a little bit steeper. Rock climbing, anyone?




On the ridge of The Crosscut Saw.




The Razor and The Viking.


The final climb up to the summit of Mt Howitt.


Enjoying the view from 1742m above sea level, unsurpassed in Victoria.


Descending West Peak amongst the snow gums.


Hells Window.


The purest of water from the Howqua River.


Underestimating the duration of the hike left us walking and crossing rivers in the dark.


The gateway to The Paps.


Farmland at the base of The Paps.


View from atop Paps No. 2.


Lake Eildon from Dinny's Pinch.
