Tessellate Hill- October 2019

I was looking for something a bit shorter this time. I had heard of the tessellated rock formations a few kilometers north of Mt Irvine and had been thinking of having a look for a while now, so off I went. Mt Irvine is one of many volcanic capped mountains in the Blue Mountains. I continued north along a ridge extending from Mt Irvine. The ridge is bordered in the west by the Wollengambe River and in the east by the Bowen Gorge. The Wollengambe is famous for canyoning. Many years ago we did a lilo trip down the Wollengambe.
Mt Irvine is covered in lush forest. Further north the ridge is sandstone and the vegetation here correspondingly scrubbier. I took a bit of a look further on from the tessellate formation, after a few kilometers or so of bush bashing through the scrub not on a defined track I called it a day and retraced my path back to the car.
