It's always good to stop for a short
walk when you are driving, so, the day after we walked the Major Mitchell Plateau, we stopped at Mount Sturgeon track on the way
south. Doug sat out this walk as his bung knee from Umbrawarra Gorge
was a bit tender after the long descent from Mount William. The
track to Mount Sturgeon starts where indicated on the topographic
map, but actually heads northwest to junction with a track that goes
up Bainggug before climbing Mount Sturgeon from the north.
My legs felt a bit heavy after the
previous days walk when I started out, but, as soon as the track
started gaining elevation I limbered up and made good time to the
top. There are a couple of short descents before you get to the very
top where you have a grand view of the eastern plains and north up
the Victoria Valley. A nice diversion on a day otherwise spent
driving.
