Mt May eastern ridge...Qld,Australia

[ofuros]

Overnighter. Had all the intentions of completing a circuit of Mt May's north & south peaks,
camping in the secluded saddle between the two.
But during the descent of the n/east ridge I caught glimpse of more easterly ridge through the
eucalypt canopy that looked more interesting. Specifically for photo's of MT Maroon & Mt Barney at sunset & sunrise.
So retraced my steps back up to the summit again & dropped down onto the eastern ridge & found a place to
make camp in the dying light.

Front row & centre......the oncoming dawn over Mt Maroon



To the right.......Mt Barney




Really had a hankering for pancakes & honey for breakie.....but had to settle for lentils & rice.




On the way back out....



Great for the soul,

Thanks mbiraman,
The hat is the called the 'Territory', part of large range made by an aussie icon/ legend.....Akubra.
The Territory is named after our Northern Territory, one of our states....a big, wild, open land with plenty
of sun....hence the extra wide brim.
Here's the link for more info.

Beautiful land! I particularly like the shot of your cook pot with the mountains in the background.

Thanks Mad777,
With all that uphill walking theres has to be some sort
of payoff.......wide, clear views.
