Walk to the Invincible Mine site

I'm standing where we sat for picnic lunch...

...that view was amazing...

just the birds, us and silence

Another beautiful day.  We did a walk through beech forests to the remains of the Invincible Mine which is about 1 hour uphill.  The views up there were really nice, we sat for ages looking down the Rees River valley to the snowy mountains beyond.  We actually had morning tea and lunch up there!  Then we drove to the end of the road/valley before returning to the bus for a lazy afternoon.
