Coming out of the bush section following Slip Flat one is visually assaulted by the magnificent jagged formations of the Forbes Mountains which have swung east and now lie directly in front (north). We now start some in and out of gully tramping. | |||

Eventually a bridge materialises and the Shelter Rock Hut comes into view. This has wonderful views of Mt Clarke opposite and the Forbes Mountains to the north. The huts are modern and very comfortable and not many huts anywhere would be able to claim a better view. | |||

The hut starts to fill with trampers from Australia, Germany, England and some local hunters. Some will continue with us for the whole circuit. | |||
