From Mountain Creek car park, we have a steady ascent along fire trail (approx. 5.5km) up to the signage for Camel Hump. Recent clearing along the fire trail provides more open views east into Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve and Canberra. Bit of teaser for the brilliant views yet to come! From the signage, we have a short steepish climb to an elevation point of 1,383m for amazing views to the south and west. Without going all the way to Camels Hump (1,433m), we then descend back to the fire trail and head south up to John’s Peak (1,450m). There’s a short section of exposed rock scrambling on the way up to John’s Peak. We then traverse along the range to Tidbinbilla Peak (1561m), before steeply descending down the SE spur, back to the fire trail. A solid effort with an overall ascent of 906vm, taking approx. 6 hours.
