Hello!!!
Feast your eyes on that VIEW!!
We got in last night and slept very very soundly after the most glorious shower ever!!
We had a great time – different challenges each day, but oh so satisfying.
Life is simple up there. The anxiety melts away as you pack up your gear, walk from A to B, unpack, change, eat, chat and sleep (well… toss and turn on a camp mattress for 12 hours haha)
Then… wake and go again!
The scenery is ever changing and gorgeous.
We were pretty lucky with the weather. The forecast rain rain rain rain, snow and rain didn’t eventuate.
It was cold enough but only on day five did we get significant rain and snow flurries as we hiked.
The highlight was getting the chance to climb and summit Mt Ossa, Tasmanias highest peak. Absolutely stunning! A rather huge challenge and NOT a walk in the park but worth every ounce of sweat!
I am going to drift my way through the next week – work on the garden and the photos 🙂 I wrote a diary while I was up on the hike so I could copy my thoughts into the daily account of our hike this time.
The garden is pumping out tomatoes and tonight it was great having fresh food again!
Hope your week has been fantastic and I will be dropping back again soon with hiking stories and garden tales!
Cheers!
What an incredible path in your photo!
I agree whole heartedly Robyn!! Such skill! I spoke to the ranger and she said there were two main guys making these paths – one just retired (in his 70’s!!) the ‘younger’ fellow is in his 50’s! She said it was amazing to watch them work. Not only do they have to lay the path but also avoid the very sensitive vegetation up there too so that would have made things even harder!
What an incredible world we live in! Can’t wait for more pictures.
It is isn’t it?? I am so glad we went up – so insanely gorgeous!
Well done! What an amazing view. Enjoy your rest, look forward to hearing and seeing more 🙂
Thanks Hazel!! I am looking forward to getting into the photos as well… but today we failed to rest with a big potato dig lol
Lisa, it looks so wonderful! I can’t wait to hear all about it and see more pictures. So glad you are home safe and had a good time.
Thanks Teresa! It really was a great week. I am looking forward to getting into the photos soon and writing up some stories. Lovely to be home with things nice and quiet 🙂

Hi Linda and thank-you!! Love that photo very much! The area was so beautiful – just surrounded by it. Quite awe inspiring. Oh yes – very much enjoying being home and just pottering about doing things at my pace again. Bliss!
