Well it wasn't really climbing...it was more walking up a track/hike....there were stairs carved into the rocks in some parts but the over hanging rocks meant you had to climb the stairs bent over so ya didn't knock yaself out. The summit had to be reached by scrambling over boulders...there were a few sections like that where there was no path, you just had to scramble over the rocks following the blue arrows and hope you didn't tumble over the side. It's classed as a level 3 hike..whatever that is...but let's just say there are no safety rails or ropes or fenced off sections so it's a bit daunting at the top just standing on rocks...it wasn't even that far...but some of the climb sections were steep... Was still more exercise than I am used too these days...spent a while at the top cos one of the girls had a panic attack over the crazy tourists standing in really dangerous spots with not safety precautions ....then an echidna came out and walked around...so cute.

Climb the remnants of a volcano and miss the alien sighting ...but glad all is good and ta back.

Congrats Archie Roach....Victorian Australian of the Year.....

NOPE!!!!!!! @Doreensfree is NOT an ashtray...

@G67....miss you mate, even if you count in the wrong direction....your boys are missing you too and are all very sore arsed seeing as they keep getting spanked. Where ever you are hope you and yours are safe and happy.

@Martian5.....you good?

Confession: I committed to climbing this with the kid and her friends and am stressing I bit off more than I can chew.

My lot have it as CREST syndrome but only my Aunty and one of my sisters have all the crest conditions. My other sister, mum and cousin both have Reynaud's and Scerladerma. I did luck out big time by missing that little genetic gift. I keep my eyes on my daughter but considering she 'runs hot' hopefully she has missed out on this too. Its awful and I know they all suffer. We joke they have shares in ugg boots. Do you get the chilblains too? My pore aunty got one on her nose this winter.

Well I'm coming up on 2 years and I still find random lighters and even the odd stashed smoke/s....mental.

@abbynormal my mum, her sister, my 2 sisters and my cousin all have Raynaud's.... I am the only one who doesn't have it. Can I just say when its 42C and they are walking around with hands like ice I don't mind if they touch me.

I eventually did

So you have Sugar Britches and our lovely Lady Toad and that's not enough to prevent a wrist injury!???

Confession: I always say "Thank you driver, have a nice day/good night" when I get off a bus but I never say it on a tram.

Sending all my love.

Smsing the house mate to make sure the slow cooker gets turned on round noon so that we can have dinner....lamb stew....might be the last stew of the year...33°c for thursdee.

Didn't the Titanic sail out of Southampton?. .... Just saying. ... Me..right now...running late for work....should be on the road in 10 and I ain't even showered yet.

Oh me too....hope our favourite alien is just off doing something amazing.
