Last week I spent an afternoon/evening on the summit of Mt Coree, in the Brindabella Ranges west of Canberra.
The 'primary' point of the trip was a little excursion with some amateur radio friends (it's one of my 'other' hobbies ;-) ) but naturally I took some photos too!
Recent work means you can drive right to the top, which makes it easy, although my current car (a fairly low-slung sedan) only just made it... I had planned on either walking the last bit (!) or getting a lift from one of the others, as last time I was up there, a few years ago, it was well and truly four-wheel-drive only.
(I'd forgotten how far the last bit is - would have been a long walk!)
Became very cold and windy as it got later.

This one is in a way my favorite I think... although not 100% happy with composition, nor the extent of the blown out area around the sun... oh well!

Sun came out again just as we were leaving...
