Hi Craig,
I walked through a cattleman's
camp up there on one of my hikes on the AAWT, 4 of their horses were tied up to trees next to the last spring on the track, 3 days walk from Barry's Saddle
water tank and they were bogging it up with their hooves and manure. They were bringing 100+ head of cattle and calves down from about 1600m.
I saw deer and goats near water but the pigs, cattle and horses left the worst mess.
There were 3 Wilderness areas zoned when I walked through the first time. I didn't know only one still exists. I just had a quick squizz at some recent topos and also noticed the national parks no longer join up all the way to
Walhalla. It was big thing when the Australian Alps Walk was being created in 1989. It has been 4 years since my last walk through there.
Thanks for picking up my mistakes. I'll be spending summer hiking down there so will need to know these things
Cheers
Sorry Kieth for misinformation
