Day 2: Packed up and started walking up McGee Creek Canyon Track. base elevation is about 7000ft or so. We merrily traipse up the track, not seeing many people, though the carpark was moderately full. The Creek is in very full flow. Very odd landscape, both obviously very old sedimentary and then very new glaciation all in the same field of view. Most interesting. I tried chasing this up in the ranger station on our way home, but it's not a very popular area to write about :) Suffice to say, yes there is very old rock here, and then younger rock, and then glaciation. Nothing new there.

There was very little shade on the track, and I got tired a lot quicker than expected. We were only doing a "short walk anyway" so I wasn't really paying much attention to things like drinking water and resting properly. This is wrong. Don't ever forget how much you are going up when you start at 7000feet or so. It really does make a difference, especially when it feels flat, but isn't at all flat, and is actually steadily rising. Nonetheless we kept up our walking, (me still believing that I was just not warmed up yet, not that anything was wrong) and continued on up through our moonscape. Very dry, very different landscape to most of Australia.
