| The old duckboard is back - wow! | Only a few hundred metres to the hut. |
 |
 |
| Lake Vera Hut, one of the 2 huts built for overnight stays for walkers. | New duckboards around the hut lead to the various campsites and also the start of the next days walk. |
 |
|
| Next - Lake Vera Track | Creative use of available resources - the tree trunk has been made into a grand staircase. |
 |
 |
| Timber planks make the pathway easy. | Close to the end of the section next to the lake Vera. After this the track begins to ascend towards Baron Pass. |
 |
 |
| Beautiful rainforest | with lots of water. |
 |
 |
| Very mossy | If not for the planks there would have been more mud. |
 |
 |
| This creek runs along next to the track and makes its way back to Lake Vera. | A 450m climb and we're at Baron Pass. |
|
|
 |
| Not the best views today - where is the Sun! | But the contrast with the rainforest is stark. |
|
|
 |
| On the top of this ridge it is not surpising that life is tough even for the trees. | Really there are 3 lakes down there in the mist. I can see one only. |
|
|
|
| We camp the night - and with better weather the lakes re-appear. | White Needle - that's the name of this peak. |
|
|
|
| Landslide - ages ago. | Looking back at White Needle. |
 |
 |
| Sidling around Shorlands Peak, fortunately you don't need to go over the top. | We think this is Artichoke Valley. |
