Thanks recorded here previously but as you say great to have confirmation that it is doing well post fires

Didn't notice this last time I was on the summit of Mt Gudgenby but it was the middle of winter, freezing cold and wet, and the rock slab had ice on it, so very slippery. Great find. The sighting lists this as Mt Clear, which is incorrect.
