From here we ride out through the majestic Alpine Ash bush into the marked contrast of the twisted, multi-coloured Snow Gums, up over the summit of Mt Stirling and on to Craig's Hut where we enjoy the magnificent views over lunch.

 

dinnerAfter lunch we continue our trek to our camp at Razorback where our supply vehicle has already got the camp set up and the billy on the boil. After a hearty meal we settle down to relax around the fire and enjoy the evening.

On Sunday morning, after a bush breakfast, we depart Razorback headed down the head waters of the Delatite River. Stopping for lunch along the way, we cross the river 15 times as we follow the river down until we reach the base of the majestic mountains. Here, at Mirrimbah our journey ends as we load our horses back on to their truck and our guests into our support vehicles; Merrijig bound.
