Time for a hike. The Rees–Dart Track which allegedly is stunning. The day starts with beautiful weather so that’s a good start. I just need to pack my backpack and I’ll be on my way

Mt Earnslaw is the highest peak on the left, straight ahead in the distance the Forbes Mountains

The track follows the Rees River upstream on the true left

No wet feet today

Looking back towards the Richardson Mountains

I hope the weather stays this way, it’s great for hiking

A fair amount of today’s hike is through forest

Slip Flat

Lupins, they’re everywhere

Bridge and small waterfall

Forbes Mountains

Mt Cunningham, tomorrow’s track will go just behind it

Getting close to the hut now

Yes! Shelter Rock Hut and Campsite! I hung out my yellow tent to dry as it was still wet from the night before

It’s packed tonight, both buildings are pretty much full

The hut at dusk

Track log of today, distance was 20 km and that took just over 7 hours
