We had Dave Segal from UC Davis staying with us for a couple of weeks in March – to brainstorm on zinc finger related work. The weather was looking good, so we headed out to the Blue Mountains for a bit of a day walk. Nick and Mattias joined us for a hike down from Wentworth Falls via Slack’s stairs to Hippocrene Falls and Vera Falls – where we briefly explored an off-path route to the cliffline around the falls… Once we relocated ourselves, we headed back up the Valley of the Waters and along the National Pass track back to Wentworth Falls.

Was a splendid day for an outing – and not a leech to be had – surprisingly…

Mattias has taken some photos too – and see the following week’s Harbour walk.
