it's 2006

Happy New Year everybody. I'm back in Melbourne after a nice cool Christmas and New Year (we seemed to avoid the hot weather altogether) in Hobart.
I went for a walk to the Hartz Mountains National Park while down south. This park is a great spot for an easy day of walking with superb views over the south west and D'Entrecasteaux areas. I've made numerous visits to this area since 1987 and the trackwork done in recent years has been a good attempt at minimising the impact of walkers yet making for an enjoyable visit for the [slightly] less mobile. The pic above is from Hartz Peak with Hartz Lake below and Mt Picton on the closer horizon to the left of my head.
