Correct! I walked to Porcupine Rocks and back from Charlotte Pass in January to check out the new section of track.

Thanks, big climb. I've only been to Josephine Falls at the base of it.

What historic track is this old lookout on? Bonus point if you can name the lookout. NSW:

Yes that's the one. Interesting but not well known short pass at Wentworth Falls, off the Den Fenella track.
