The name Goochs Crater suggests it is volcanic, it is in fact not volcanic in origin at all, but a footy field sized hole in the sandstone. This area had been devastated by the Gospers Mountain fire, consequently some of this route required careful navigation. The day was cloud free with a strong bitterly cold southerly blowing, see the picture of the ice still on the wildlife drink container. These watering points have been placed in strategic locations to help the animal survive after the fires. My visit to the Dargan Arch was a short jaunt down another track after I had returned to my ute from Goochs Crater.
