Australia/New Zealand 1989 - Overland Track

It snowed in the morning. I started for Pine Valley Hut, because I wanted to see the Acropolis. But the rain started again so I went to the Echo Point Hut, which I shared with Dave, Steve, and Lynn from England. Phalim took the ferry from the Narcissus Hut. The view from the cozy Echo Point Hut was excellent. The last morning I got up early to hike to Cynthia Bay and caught the 10:30 AM bus to Hobart. When I sat down in the bus most passengers near me moved away. Five days on the trail can create a powerful smell.
