Washington winch ,Moscow Villa and Eastern High Country

The young bucks had ruined our sleep somewhat and I was hesitant to stay another night but the returned later and only two remained to sleep the day away in their swags but since their were other campers around we decided to explore nearby Mt Nugiong .
We took a lunch and passed some amazing scenery and an awesome golf club/campground that would have been awesome to stay at if we had known.
Near the summit we found the remains of a bygone logging era in Washington Winch I recommend people explore this region for themselves .
Another geocache found at the above sight and we headed down to Moscow Villa a summer hut of nearby log cutter An Chow a local legend it seems .
Bennett's plains hut was only a little further on so we lunched there in the warm sunlight amazed at the two huts and surrounds and how life was much tougher back then but they wouldn't know any other way I suppose.
Lunch done for the day we boarded the high country cruiser to the next spot on our little geo map the logging workers huts below in camp oven flat where the remains of an old bus used to transport the workers up and down the hill .
Of course we eventually found this geocache which also had nearby the grossly remains of a feral kitten hanging in the tree on the roadside.
The track out back towards Ensay was fairly straight forward and then into grazing land before meeting up with the Alpine Way where we went back up the hwy to our camp at Swifts Creek and were pleased to discover the hoons from the night before had all shot off.
Chicken schnitzels and chicken snags were the order of the night while we sat arou d the fireplace to warm up then another movie since it wasn't too late .
