Traverse of the Western and Eastern Arthur Range - January 1999

This was an eleven day solo trip. I was fortunate to get good weather
for most of the walk. As well - I got some interesting photographic
conditions. Except for a camp at Promontory Lake - most of the campsite
on the trip were at unusual places.

On the first day, the bus dropped me off at Huon Camp around midday and
I walked down to Junction Creek and headed up Moraine A and camped in
sheltered spot on the top. This was an ideal place to climb nearby Mt
Hesperus for sunset and sunrise.

zone) behind.
Day 2 - At dawn I quickly climbed Mt Hesperus again hoping for a good
sunrise. I was not disappointed.
Above - There was still some mist around as I walked towards the
Capella Crags and Mt Hayes.
Above - Some other walkers headed down to Lake Oberon to camp. I
decided to camp up high.
Day 3 - Sunrise from Mt Sirius. No morning mist - but still nice
atmospheric conditions. Another short days walking to High Moor
followed.
