Mount Campbell (Mavora), 10 - 11 May 2014

A trip motivated by the need for photographs of the Mavora Lakes to support FMC's "Forgotten Lands Campaign". We started at the outlet of the South Mavora Lake and traversed the tops south of Mount Campbell in the Thomson Mountains. We camped on top of the panoramic Pt 1590m. On Sunday we continued over Mt Campbell and down its north ridge to a saddle from where we dropped to the North Mavora Lake. Party: Carla Braun-Elwert and Danilo Hegg
