Rainforest on top of Spicers Peak, pic taken during our walk from Spicers to Teviot.

Looking back towards Spicers Peak. The curios foiage in the foreground are what are known as blackboys or xanthorrhea or grasstrees. They shoot up a huge long flower spike, that coupled with their black trunks and grass skirts for leaves reminded the early settlers of aborigines standing with their spears hence the name blackboys.

Walking down through the blackboy grasstrees on our trip from Spicers Gap to Teviot Gap.

Open Eucalypt forest with grasstrees on our walk from Spicers Gap to Teviot Gap.

Rainforest epyphites. This shows some of the luxuriant growth that occurs when there is plenty of moisture to feed the forest.

This shows the resilience of the Australian rainforest against fire. This huge Tallow Wood has the scars from a recent fire that swept through the area.

More open country as we head towards Mt. Asplenium. The fires swept the weeds and grass clear so we made good time here.

Climbing up the fire ravaged northern slopes of Mt. Asplenium.

Walking through the tree ferns on the slopes of Mt. Asplenium.

Looking towards Mt. Steamer as fog drifts off the lee side of the mountain obscuring the cliffs on that side of the mountain.

Taking a break to dry the socks out after being hit with some wet weather.

Dreary and eerie are the words that come to mind when looking out into the surroounding open eucalypt forest near our campsite.

A card game under the hutchey is a great way to pass the time until we get tired enough to sleep.

In the morning we are greeted by vistas such as this. Looking out towards Boonah.

Looking towards Lizard Point on the Spicers Gap to Teviot Falls track.

The east cliff of Mt. Steamer from the Lizard Point side looking north.

Peering over the edge at the spear lillies and the steep drop. We encountered a knife edge ridge here with the sides dropping sheer away on both sides of the ridge.

Yet another peek back at the peaks we have climbed on our walk from Spicers Gap to Teviot Gap.

Standing on Lizard Point and taking in the breathtaking view. This is like being in a plane without the windows.
