Mt Kelly logbook

[johnf]

I was up Mt Kelly on the weekend. Wonderful views, tough scrub.
The logbook at the summit was soaking wet and mouldy. Completely unusable. I did manage to open at a page 3/4 from the beginning and there was an entry from late 2013. The next page that I could open without damage was blank so not sure how many entries there are but looks like the book has been soaked for some time. The plastic bag it was in had some holes but generally the plastic around it would be keeping it from drying out. I left it out of the plastic and within the inner box in the hope it can dry out and be salvageable before another soaking. I guess the snow allows the water to get in as it was in the outer and inner metal box. The book and plastic bag should be replaced so if anyone is going up there bring a spare book. Might need a pen as well as I was not able to try the one that was there.
There was also a small laminated photo with some lat long coords on the back. I didn't check if the coords match Mt Kelly. I thought about it during the night and found the photo a little disturbing and no idea why that should be there and was going to remove it. I forgot in the morning. I am sure it was innocent when placed but breaks the karma of the beautiful mountain so I would be glad if someone can take it down that comes across it.

It was like that when I went up, Sept '13. I tried, but couldn't find a page able to be written on. Unfortunately.
The Bimberi log wasn't in great condition last time I was there, either.

What's the photo? Geocache?

Mr John Evans aka Johnny Boys Walkabout Blog might be able help you contact Max. John knows Max.

Thanks Warren, I don't think that is the same Max but I may be mistaken. Might contact John and ask anyway.
As for the photo, I suppose it was a geocache with the lat long on it though I don't really know what that is. I suppose you report what you found at the location? Anyway the photo is a "personality" with a young girl on his lap. That guy was recently convicted and who knows the girl may have been a victim. I don't mention names as why have it searchable here. Anyway the photo is not appropriate for the beautiful peaceful environment up then and I should have removed it.
