Day 4 - Cleaning out the tent | A short easy climb through more spooky forest | Nice flat ground, but a bit narrow! |
Out into the open, with Mt Ossa in the distance | Mt Ossa is a bit closer now | Rustic looking planks to walk on |
The west arm of Mt Ossa in the distance | What a pass! | Look how far we’ve climbed |
They’re going the wrong way! | Even further up the mountain | That’s Barn Bluff to the left, and Cradle Mountain on the right |
A bit of a scramble to get over there! | The way back down, with Mt Pelion East in the distance | The plateau of Mt Ossa – it’s really quite flat! |
Looking west to the walls of Jerusalem | Looking south towards the Pine Valley mountains – the Acropolis and Mt Geryon | The track back down, and the big track junction |
The rounder top of Mt Pelion West, with Barn Bluff and Cradle Mountain back there too! | It’s amazing what grows on top of the tallest mountain in Tasmania | Why can’t the grass in the front yard look like this! If only the house was at 1664m altitude! |
Heading back down – the summit is on the right | Doesn’t this plant have a spectacular view – no wonder it’s so healthy! | Creepy trees down in the valley |
Permanent resident of Kia Ora Hut | Friendly game of Hackey Sack – to release the build up of Lactic Acid in the legs (thanks Toby!) | Yummy custard for breakfast on the start of Day 5 |
Back in the forest again | Du Cane Emergency Hut – yes, it would have to be an emergency! | Much more inviting surroundings around Du Cane Hut |
