Livingstone Range, 8 - 9 June 2013

A pleasant amble along the tops at the northern end of the Livingstone Range. On a rainy Saturday, we walked in to McKellar Hut from The Divide via Lake Howden. On Sunday we climbed the spur on the true right of Duck Creek to Pt 1543m, then on the tops to Key Summit and back to The Divide. Party: Steve August, Polly Camber, Gwenn Le Mée, Danilo Hegg
