Day 2 (Wednesday) - Waterfall Valley Hut to Windermere Hut

Looking back along the track, Barn Bluff in background. Roy, Jasmine and Rick went back from the campsite at Waterfall Valley to climb the Bluff, while we continued on.

Swimming in Lake Will. As with all swimming water along the track, it was very cold, although swimmers insisted on saying "It's beautiful!!"

The hidden waterfall at the end of the lake; a bit difficult to get a good photograph, but well worth it.

Here I am unwrapping a Mars Bar which I have solidified by placing it for 5 minutes in the cold waters of Lake Will. Barn Bluff in the background, dominates the skyline for many kilometres.

The Likely Lads

Looking down the track. Mt Ossa (highest mountain in Tasmania) is directly above the lake, Mt Pelion West is to the right, behind the leaves, and Mt Pelion East is behind the dead branch.

Swimming in Lake Windermere. The water was warmer near the surface, so we tried not to disturb the layers too much. These ladies insisted on joining us, and we were too tired to refuse.

The hut at Lake Windermere. Some of us stayed in here, some camped in tents. Because of the animals below, we had to put our packs in the hut.

Tea inside the hut, usually quite a social affair. Freeze-dried meals made preparation quite easy, but by the end of the week, everything tasted the same.

These pesky little critters kept us on out toes, for the first hour after we retired. Various flying ogjects didn't seem to deter them; they were very persistent, and have been known to rip holes in tents and packs, to get to the food.

Day 3 (Thursday) - Windermere Hut to New Pelion Hut
