I know the tracks very well on Mt Rob Roy, but today I took a novice to experience the local mountain.
We started from the Theodore electricity sub station as I wasn't sure on how much time we would need to get to the top and back.
A very nice day with a strong at times wind blowing on the higher exposed parts.
It was a run/walk effort as the steeper parts are slippery from loose rocks. The tracks actually looked like they have been graded, not as many big exposed rocks.
A very small brown snake was sighted near the top of the mountain and that certainly had our attention as we bush bashed to the trig.
Then on the trail on the open paddock a very still blue tongued lizard was enjoying the sunshine.
We went to the trig on Big Monks to enjoy the view to the Brindies and the southern suburbs of Canberra.
Stopped at Pine Is on the way back to work to relax & soothe the legs. An echidna was walking across the car park also enjoying the sunshine. A good lunch time run.
