After a tasty breakfast, +Jill and I drove to Old Springs (just past Fern Tree) part way up Mt Wellington. From here we did about a 5 1/2 mile hike to the top - up on the Zig Zag trail and down via the Ice House trail.
Both
trails were technical rocky paths unlike some other "walks" we've done.
But the way down was far more technical and for experienced walkers
only. It was a couple of hours of climbing over rocks or walking in "dry
creek beds" endlessly.
There is a fire burning nearby (not yet contained) so we did not have great
visibility. In addition, upon showering before dinner, I could not help
but smell a ton of smoke. What did we inhale today?
Once
we got back to civilization, it was time for a few routine shopping
errands along with laundry and catching up with all of our photos we
recently generated over the past few days.
