We drove up the Graham Valley Road to the Flora car park. Headed off and walked into Flora Hut and then up the track about a kilometer to Lodestone Creek, which we then dropped into and discovered that it was easy going and marked with a stoat line. A bit of snow lying around, an overall great sunny day with good visibility and no wind. We did see what looked like a Blue duck in the creek. Furthur up the climb out of the creek got steeper and eased off to the saddle. Some good views there. Then a nice steep trail up on the ridge to Lodestone. Lodestone gave us great views. We stopped for a snack and cup of tea before heading down the icy track.
Very good day walk.
