On Saturday I managed to get out on my first serious walk since I have been in Tassie. It was also a good chance to finally test out my Molly Mac Pack. This is a great walk with a clear track all the way to the top. Once I got on the plateau I was greeted by an eagle flying over head, and Lady Lake Hut in the distance. Awesome.

Great pics, i'll add that one to my list of walks to do in Tassie.

The photo below is what Lady Luck Hut looked like 100 years ago!

One of the beauty things of Tasmania is the wilderness and how close it is for any city or town.
Very nice photos. Post them at 400 the smaller side so we can appreciate them better

Yeah sorry mate, I linked them off Picasa and that's how they came :(. That walk is not even 30 minutes drive from my house :p.

If any member would like to do some bush walking and photography in the southeast area let me know I be on that :)
Even Mount Wellington tracks are very good for what I have heard.

No worries mate.

That sounds good mate. We will be down that way in August, so may be able to slip in a quick walk :cool:.

We used to live in Westbury for 15 years, one of the best walks is Mother Cummins peak above Meander, pick a cool clear frosty morning, take a camera with a big lens and enjoy.

Cheers Steve

Mother Cummins is on the to do list :). The thing with this area is there are just so many great walks nearby.

So many walks, so little time.

Funny it took me over a year to try mine out as well.

The pack went well, very comfortable, hardly noticed it was there. I have a few pouches on the belt as well, and it was nice having things easily reached without even needing to slow down. It wasn't much of a test for it but I am still really happy with it.

I have a few more things ordered from Mac including a couple of his under quilts for my hammock and a gear hammock. Plus i will probably get a few more pouches and the front panel for the Mac Pack for longer trips.
