Walking in Mt Kaputar NP

Our last day of walking on this trip.  We climbed Mt Kaputar in the morning.  Its the highest mountain in this region (1510 m above sea level), but was only a 1.7k climb from our camp.

After having lunch in the van we tackled the other walks in the area- largely doing the Bundabulla Circuit and visiting a number of fabulous  lookouts (Mt Dowe, Horsearm Ck, Eckford, Bundabulla and Mt Lindsay).  We walked 6.4k’s over 2.75 hours and it was a really pleasant walk.

On to Mt Kaputar NP…

15 May 2016

Driving to the Mt Kaputar NP via Narrabri, where we visited the tourist info office, filled up with water, got groceries and had lunch at a local hotel.  Then we headed off to Mt Kapetar NP, more dirt road and 4WD’ing.  We arrived at 4pm, and are the only ones in the campground.  Too late to climb Mt Kapetar so we did a 1.5k nature walk around the Dawson Spring campground.  Even managed to go for showers at 8pm in the pitch dark.  Good day except for a ‘little accident with the front of the van”.
