Overland Track Day 6: Windy Ridge to Narcissus and Cynthia Bay
A day of gentle downhill walking and a boat ride.
Last breakfast at Windy Ridge Hut
Low clouds obscure the mountains which tower above the forest
Lots of Banksias on this side of Du Cane Gap
Innovative bridge across a small creek
Lichens still abound ...
... in an amazing variety of forms
An ancient Myrtle beech
Bowling Green, a small area of moorland amid the forest
The turn-off to Pine Valley is a good resting spot
A good sense of balance required
More red berries (!)
We reach the flatter Buttongrass moorland at the bottom of the valley
Mountains are again visible to the south of the track
The swing bridge over the Narcissus River
Narcissus Hut
Not far to go now
Narcissus Bay
We join several other groups of hikers waiting for the ferry at Narcissus Bay landing
Mountain rocket
Mt Olympus from Narcissus Bay
Here comes the boat
Lots of hikers and a small boat
On the way back the guides play a game called "Upside Down." How long can you hang on?
Disembarking at Cynthia Bay, at the southern end of Lake St Clair
Happy trekkers all
