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
