We climbed up the dip on the southern end of Mt Emerald then south along the top which had been burnt. We came to a patch of rainforest up on top which had been logged for a short time but found to be too inaccessible. It was heavily disturbed by pigs. We had lunch near some foxholes dating from WW2 training then descended a steep hill to farmland at the end of the Bones Knob road where Bluey met us with a billy of tea and biscuits.
