Wow Perry, your shots are superb! We are planning a trip there in August, not sure what the weather will be like, but thinking probably mild'ish days, hopefully not wet, and crispy nights.
Love your sleeping quarters on top Gandalf; looking at something like that for the Disco. Any info/tips appreciated!

Thanks Cate, all taken with a Canon pocket camera, albeit with a 20 x zoom.
August could be cold (nights), but just do it. I prefer the cooler weather for walking. I did the Overland Track in winter and that had a bit of everything. Good gear is the key and layers.
Roof top tent is waiting for the SWB trailer to be finished and then it will be going on that.
Happy to answer any questions re tips etc that I can.

5th day took us through some lovely forested country with the ever present cycads seeming to dominate.
Hardenbergia was a feature near the final nights camp, blanketing a lot of the understorey.
Cabbage Tree Camp
Day 6 took us back towards Carnarvon Gorge although still high up.
That's Carnarvon Creek below
Packed up ready to head home after the final nights camp on the Macintyre River at Mungindi.
All in all a terrific 10 days.

They are a great 2 person tent. They are also a good 4 season tent as well, though only rated to 3.
Having 3 of them I used the fly off one to make a shelter with no inner. Sewed a ground sheet from sil nylon with eyelits and clips in the corners. Used a bit of velcro to keep the poles crossed. Bit of no-see-em mesh around the base of the fly and its become a light sturdy insect free shelter.
Good on you partner sharing the weight, in my camp I get the tent.

nice trip and report, we read the signs when at mt moffat a few years ago and thought it must be interesting walk and where would water be available which you have now answered. thanks
Bumping a pretty old thread....
I se you mention potable water at each camp but I’m sure the NP online map says no water. Back to recheck NP info.
What your thoughts on starting and finishing from Mount Moffett (actually didn’t realise on could access the walk from Mount Moffett).
Thanks
Perry,
If you'd like to add the pix again, I can do that for you if you forward them to me at p38arover@gmail.com
