Overland Track

YIC is now in Hobart having walked The Overland Track in Tasmania. This track wends its way from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Claire through stunning scenery. YIC was blessed with 4 days of good weather during which he climbed Cradle Mountain, Barn Bluff, Mt Oakleigh, Mt Ossa (highest hill in Tasmania) and The Acropolis. The weather then turned distinctly chilly with 3 inches of snow overnight, making for a winter wonderland walk-out on the last 2 days. Here are a few photos from the trip.

Sitting out the bad weather at Pine Valley Hut with a group from a Hobart church school. We kept warm by singing Christian Union classic action songs such as "He sits me down at his banqueting table".
