Snow Day!
With a big dump of snow promised by the forecasters, a day out in the South West seemed like a great idea so we headed off bright and early. I’ll let the pictures tell the story…
First stop – Mt Field to check in on Russell and Horseshoe, both of which were looking very fine 🙂
Next stop, the Twisted Sister track off the Gordon River Rd to see some forest scenes covered in white.
The track winding through the forest
For those who dont know – Twisted Sister is the name given to one of the giant Stringbarks
The base of the Twisted Sister
Snow covering the rainforest, a delight 🙂
The ferns in particular looked great in white
Another nice little patch of ferns and a light dusting of snow

The well signed track
Moving on further into the south west… The clouds were down fairly low for most of the afternoon obscuring the tallest peaks but we were treated to tantalizing glimpses of the wild weather
The Western Arthurs, glimpsed across the Edgar Pond near the end of Scotts Peak Rd
Returning to Hobart, the snow started to fall again on the Gordon River Rd at the Needles.
