Hi everyone this is my day 20 photo. This is the end of day 3 at the hut and a little visitor getting a drink from the water tank. I didn’t take many photos on this day it was very hard just because of the length of the walk. We had started walking at about 8 and got to the hut at about 2:30 and we had only stopped briefly for lunch. By day end my shoulders were very sore and I was sore all over my wife was even sorer and her blisters were getting pretty bad. The walk was awesome probably the best day of walking on the track as we made our way through so many landscapes open planes forest morelands swamps alpine escarpment. The views from the hut were incredible as well stay tuned for tomorrow’s photo of that 💙
Hi everyone these are my day 21 photo it is taken from New Pelion hut looking towards Mount Oakley. This is the start of day 4 on the track it’s called Mountain day cause you can take a side trip and climb the third highest mountain in Tasmania Moont Pelion East or the highest Mountain Mount Ossa but my wife is afraid of heights so we gave it a mis and just walked through to the next hut only 9k today???
Hi everyone this is my day 22 photos. This day we had left the hut and we had been walking for about half an hour when I heard something in the bushes. I stopped to look and see what it was I could make out an animal about the size of a small wombat or a Wallaby. I called my wife back to see and as she got close the noise scared it off and I got a good look at it. A Tasmanian Devil in the wild wow. We walked for about half hour more and my wife had to stop to fix her bandages on her blisters we walked off the trail into a small cleaning and we could hear the waterfalls I climbed down an embankment and found these two just before the two creeks meet I think a pretty nice find 💙
Hi everyone this is my day 23 photo. I know it looks pretty boring but it’s the only photo of me and my wife on the track I have cropped us out of the photo. This is at the junction where you can climb one of the mountains or just keep walking through to the next hut. It is the windy and coldest place on the track because the wind funnels in between the two mountains. I had spoken to a couple that were walking the other direction the day before we had had great weather all day and when they walked through Pelion Gap they walked through a white out blizzard. All down hil from here for the rest of the day???
