Glad to hear the track is open - I presume it has been for quite some time. The last time I did it was 18 years ago, with my children, then ranging from 10 to 18 years old. It was closed later for some reason which I can't remember. Was in NSW then, back in Victoria now.
Including comment on rubbish reporting of the same by (not my) ABC.
Peter,
The banner on the home page is from a photograph I took looking back at the escarpment below Govett's Leap, from within the Grose Valley. Photograph taken in December 2007 with evidence of vegetation recovering from 2006 bushfire.
And Perry's Track begins at Perry's Lookdown, not from Govett's Leap.
Koalabear,
I looked and looked for some Koalas in the Noosa National park yesterday but didn't see any yesterday.
spangled drongo, I was referring to the trees in the Blue Gum Forest at the base of Perrys. Jennifer's photo was taken near the top of Perrys. I don't think she descended down to the Blue Gum Forest, which incidentally has recovered strongly from bushfires some years ago, when the SMH reported that it had been "destroyed".
Make the climb down from Govett's Leap and there you are !Now tell me about the pic on your homepage.It looks to me like the steps down from Fitzroy Falls.Am I right ?

It looks like maybe near Mt Warning NSW
Jennifer,
I stand corrected,pleading only that it's fifty years since I was there and made that climb.Best wishes.
Told my wife how she must dress for hiking in tiger country. "I wouldn't like to test that!", she says. 🙂
Perhaps I am the last one.

Jen, while you're there, see if there are any Glossy Blacks left. Last time I was there I saw seven but I think you'd have to be lucky.
