Here are some photos from a traverse of the Axehead Range, Blue Mountains National Park on the June long weekend, 6-8 Jun 2009. It was a great walk in a very scenic area in the southern Blue Mountains. On the trip were April Crawford-Smith, Tony Ruzek and myself, Ashley Burke.

 

From Cambage Spire, looking down into the Kowmung gorge. We followed the ridge down to the Kowmung River, crossed it, then climbed up the other side towards the Axehead Range.
