Lake Sylvester Tramp

A few weeks ago Year 13OED tramped into Sylvester Lake on an exceptionally humid Thursday afternoon. The sweat was pouring off everyone as we slogged up the Cobb Valley to a camping spot with great views towards Mt Arthur. The crew made their own shelters to sleep in for the night and we awoke to a misty morning. Check out the photos by clicking on the Flickr button on the right.
