Pelion East
Back in ‘98 I did the overland track, Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair in the middle of winter. It was very cold, but crowd free and the snow capped peaks were magnificient. On the middle day of our walk we climbed Mt Ossa (1617m), the highest Mountain is Tassie on which my friend Toby insisted that he must pose on its snow covered top in the buff. Later me and a now clothed Toby climed Pelion East. The previous occassion I’d done this walk was back in the scouts in 1989 on which occassion I did not get the chance to climb Pelion East which I had regretted ever since. It was therefore particularly special to finally get up it and more so in the glorious light of the late afternoon. We didn’t reach our hut until after dark happy in our days adventures.

Brilliantly composed Travis – such a beautiful link of foreground snow-capped rocks to the background soft white cloud. Ah Tassie – landscapers nirvana (well with NZ as well).

looks like a grand hike how long did it take …........nice image
Travis Easton replied
Hi Wolf, You can rush through the overland track in 5 or 6 days but all the best stuff is off the main drag on the side trips so better to take a few more than this. It is by far the most famous and popular walk in Australia and in recent history it has been so over run with people that they now cap summer numbers.
