..which basically translates to "get off your lardy arses, pick up your packs,  and get walking" which is what we've been doing for the past seven days on the overland track. 

It was fantastically awesome and fun, and I have an overwhelming large selection of photos and lots of words to write but I thought I'd just post a photo from each day for now, until I can catch my breath and compose something more significant.. Here we go:

Day 1 - Ronny Creek to Waterfall Valley - Bjørn and Clare on the ridge before the descent to the hut:

 

Day 2 - Waterfall Valley to Windemere -  a side trip to Lake Wills

 

Day 3 - Windemere to Pelion - on our way.. 

 

Day 4 - Pelion to Kia-Ora - Happy and half way at Pelion Gap 

 

Day 4 - Mt Ossa side trip - descending

 

Day 5 - Kia Ora to Windy Ridge - best dinner ever looking across at the glacial mountain range

 

Day 6 - Windy Ridge to Echo Point - Jett at Narcissus Hut

 

Day 7 - Echo Point to Cynthia Bay - one last swim for Jon..

 

And ok - just a couple of others I can't resist posting from Mt Ossa.. 

spot the Norwegian:

Clare and the magic views..

 

a cute echidna.. 

 

 more to come..
