André (of Dutch descent) trying to cross this little stream without getting wet feet

The highest point of the Canyon Creek Route, from left to right: Jeff, John, André, me, Carl

The view north, further up the creek, we decide to walk down there as well

This is next to that grassy bit in the previous photo, Carl starting to wonder if he shouldn’t be flying

Another group photo, Mt Barth in the distance

Further upstream, Carl and André have already returned and Jeff is taking a refreshing soak in the river somewhere

Which leaves just John and me to go as far north as here, I’ve been here before

On the way back, at the highest point again, Barrier Range looking great

This is where we’ll soon be walking through again, back to the car

A last photo of Jeff and John before we arrive back to the car where we wondered why Carl and André weren’t there (they got lost and despite returning to the car an hour before Jeff, John and I did, they arrived about an hour later, awesome display of navigation skills!)
