| We arrived at the Sentry Box carpark and were ready to start tramping about 7.30 AM. We quickly formed into two groups, the (3) men and the (6) ladies, the latter opting for the return trip while the men planned to return via Golden Crown. It was misty and calm as we passed Sentry Box hut and started up the steep ridge. Later the mist was to clear and give way to a fine cool morning. We stopped for a break on Rocky Knob then carried on upwards reaching the main range about 10.30, and the hut by 11.15 having passed the men’s group who by this time were heading northwards toward the start of Golden Crown. | |

We were impressed by the hut – it was almost too new to go into – but we did and had a good look around before having lunch on its veranda.

| We left the hut sometime before 1 o’clock, retracing our steps, with the last of us ladies returning to the truck by around 3 o’clock. We then drove down to Masters Shelter to wait an hour or so for the men’s party to appear. | |
