Bimberi Peak plus Mt Kaputar

 

[Pr2cv]

Mt Kaputar it is.

There's a plaque up there that says there is nothing higher between that summit & the African continent.
A magnificent area & well worth a couple of days up there
There are cabins administered by NPWS
& an excellent camping area. It does get really cold so you need some warmth at night
