Time for a hike. The Rees<\/a>–Dart<\/a> 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<\/p><\/div>\n

Mt Earnslaw is the highest peak on the left, straight ahead in the distance the Forbes Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

The track follows the Rees River upstream on the true left<\/p><\/div>\n

No wet feet today<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking back towards the Richardson Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

I hope the weather stays this way, it’s great for hiking<\/p><\/div>\n

A fair amount of today’s hike is through forest<\/p><\/div>\n

Slip Flat<\/p><\/div>\n

Lupins, they’re everywhere<\/p><\/div>\n

Bridge and small waterfall<\/p><\/div>\n

Forbes Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

Mt Cunningham, tomorrow’s track will go just behind it<\/p><\/div>\n

Getting close to the hut now<\/p><\/div>\n

Yes! Shelter Rock Hut and Campsite! I hung out my yellow tent to dry as it was still wet from the night before<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s packed tonight, both buildings are pretty much full<\/p><\/div>\n

The hut at dusk<\/p><\/div>\n
