EOI Autumn colour up the mountains

A disappointing roll up, but we'll hopefully have a great day. As for a start time I'll leave Matt to address that one since I'm travelling with him and Philo.

It will be good to be out with whoever can come.
It is a bummer that several are unable to make it this time, but I guess that is what next time is for.

We should have an overcast light for the day, and it would be wise to bring your rain gear as well. If we all bring our gear then we may scare off the rain.

It should be an interesting day with the wet weather we have had for the last couple of weeks. Fungi anyone?

I'm sorry that i wont be able to make it up there.....I will be shooting a wedding tomorrow and will not be in any shape to head up into the mountains on Sunday. Hope the weather gets better for you guys...although I am sure you will find plenty of interesting Fungi up there

I will confirm late tonight...

I should be there, 9am Sunday at Mount Wilson, right?

I thought I'd see which route Google Maps would want to send me... naturally, it had me go to Mount Victoria, across to Bell and then down Bells Line. It said it was 82.5km and 90 minutes. It obviously doesn't know about road works. So I dragged the route to go via Kurrajong and that only increased the distance to 89.3km and 93 minutes - although it has me driving down Mitchells Pass which has been closed for over 2 years. If I fix that mistake, and also go through Emu Plains, it is 90.7km and 93 minutes.

I never would have thought that going via Kurrajong would be so close distance-wise.

Why am I posting now rather than diving? A night dive came up last night at one of my favourite spots and with the rough seas, it was a much better option than diving today. My dive buddy did it again and found something we have not seen before - well he found 4 and I found 1: a beautiful bright orange and red nudibranch. I have over 100 photos of them - I just hope one is good.

Matt, Philo and I will be there at 9 am. Google maps says from Liverpool to go via richmond and Bells Line of Road rather than through Wentworth falls, mt Victoria etc. Is that the best way to go? This talk about roadworks has me confused

Matt wants to know if any of where we are travelling is dirt road or is all paved. We can't do 4WD tracks.

Have fun guys and gals, it should be a great day, wish I could be there.

[surenj]

Boys and girl, I am out!

Take care and have fun!

[Remorhaz]

My daughter and plan to be there - hopefully we get there by 9am

Definitely. If it is line ball for me, anywhere east from me there's no question.

This talk about roadworks has me confused

The roadworks are on Great Western Highway - and in multiple spots: Woodford, Lawson, Wentworth Falls.

Liverpool to Mount Wilson is all sealed roads.

[colin_12]

Cool,
See you all there at 9 then.
The Mnt Wilson cafe is probably still closed, so no chance of a cuppa unless you bring a thermos.
It is the first reasonable parking area on the left only a 150 metres or so from sight of the first garden you see. Also just on from the first right turn you will pass.
Definately no dirt tomorrow Matt.
I will be risking the roadworks on the GWH in the morning at least.

It was a great day. Thanks for organising, Colin. I have so many phungi fotos.

[Matt. K]

Bloody brilliant day at Mount Wilson. The most beautiful place on the planet Earth! Thanks for putting this together Colin....it was a master stroke! Images will be posted shortly!

[colin_12]

That's cool. It was a fun day out with friends and we managed to scare the clouds away after all.

[Remorhaz]

A huge thankyou to Colin for organising this and for all the other great company on the day - spectactular day. I havn't even looked at my images tho I'll post when I have...

Colin

Thanks for your meticulous planning on this one. Fantastic weather, wonderful location, great company and I think I even have a good shot or two.

What toys did I miss out on?

[colin_12]

I am glad you all had fun. I was tickled that the weather shone for us on the day.
I love living up here.

You should still have some great colour this weekend if you want to drag Cameron up with you.
I wont be able to go out though as I have not got the latest asignment done.

I reckon - how Blue was that sky early on in the morning - insane...

This is with a CPL but still...
