Gee they are good shots. I've never been up there but have to go now I've seen those. Looks quite level in spots up there? Any sheltered camp spots?

Nice photos. I have camped up there once when doing a skyline traverse but there isn't really any shelter.

I really like the Lake Oenone and the one with the tarns on the palteau. Well done!

Great photos Nick.

When we were up there we were in snow in February. Great camping spot.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Yeah penguin I was hoping for some snow to be around, would have capped it off nicely :) it was freezing temps overnight but that just froze all the small tarns.
It's a great spot by the lake, and climbing along the dolerite boulders toward the northern ridge of Olympus was incredible with the 360 views, slow going but im glad we did it.
