Mt St Gwinear - August 2010


Stitched, four-shot panorama of Gwinear Flat



The start of the main summit trail



Heading up the main summit trail



There were several scenic pools and fresh snow



And lots of animal tracks running through the rocks



Most of the leaves were covered in furry frost



And some more



Some leaves had icicles hanging from them



There were some nice views on the way to the summit



Almost there...



Standing on the summit of Mt St Gwinear



Heading down the other side



More leaves with icicles



And some more



Looking up the valley over Gwinear Flat. I camped in the saddle at the top of the picture.



On Gwinear Flat



At the junction with the Alpine Walking Track



Looking East from Gwinear Flat



My campsite at the top of the valley. Snow depth was about 65cm.



I started to build an igloo...



But the snow was very dry, and wouldn't stick together



And I ran out of daylight, so I had to abandon my construction



In the morning, my tent was covered in a heavy frost



More frost on the tent
