15 December - Toolbrunup Peak, Stirling Range National Park; and Hyden

15 December 2016 – 198 808
Toolbrunup Peak, Stirling Range National Park; and Hyden


This morning we set out to climb Toolbrunup Peak – not the highest mountain in the park, but most definitely a difficult one! It was 5km to the top and back, with the first half up hill on uneven ground.  The second half was scrambling over large rocks and around boulders.  The views were truly amazing – no clouds today!  This was the toughest 5km I have walked on this trip by a long way (it took three and a half hours), but completely worth it.  











After a picnic lunch, we packed down and headed north.  We have stopped for the night at Hyden – off to see Wave Rock in the morning.
