That would be the location of Junction Hut etc. Starting to get a bit late in the year to be heading up there, but a lovely spot

As my cobber here said it's getting a bit late to go up to the junction, you may get stuck at the hut for a while if the snow comes in, the road get's very slick even with a little rain. Recommend the best time of year is late summer for up there, water nice and low and it's warm, the Pommie is subject to a radical rise in the water level if a thunder cell has developed up stream, best to go 4x4 in a convoy of two plus.
