This is the view up to our Lookout. It's a great hike -- about half an hour up, 20 minutes down. Assuming you come down the trail. If you follow Brent's gang, you'll come scrambling down the mountain's face, making your own trail. Exploring.
The view from the top is splendid. On a clear day, if you know where to look, you can spot the Dorset Fire Tower. And see all of Bondi Village spread out below.
And, after a short break to get organized for the scramble down, you can find all sorts of interesting things. Ice, like frozen waterfalls over rock. Interesting lichens. The narrow trails left by deer.
And you might -- as these guests did -- find yourself face to face with a porcupine. He was nestled in a small cave under the rocks. 30,000 quills (give or take a few) and a fairly unperturbed outlook on life means that the porcupine is pretty laid back. Our guests stared at him. He stared back at them. And they kept climbing down the hill.
