Mt Rufus and Little Hugel – a stunning loop hike

A spectacular circular day walk that combines Shadow and Forgotten Lakes with an ascent of Mt Rufus (1,416m asl) and a side-trip to Little Hugel (1,274m asl). Two mountain peaks, alpine lakes, rainforest and incredible displays of flowering heath.

Narcissus Hut to Cynthia Bay – a pleasant rainforest hike

The hike from Narcissus Hut to Cynthia Bay along Lake St Clair is the last (or first!) section of the Overland Track, and also makes a pleasant day walk. Although it’s a relatively boring walk in its own right – Shadow Lake circuit or Mt Rufus makes for a better day walk.

Barn Bluff circuit – the Cradle Mountain alternative

Barn Bluff is a less-busy alternative to Cradle Mountain, with equally impressive views and a slightly harder scramble to the top.

A short hike to Kitchen Hut (Cradle Mountain) through sleet and rain

Kitchen Hut at the foot of Cradle Mountain is as far as I get when a planned bushwalk to Barn Bluff is thwarted by bad weather

A winter ascent of Cradle Mountain

Cradle Mountain (1,545m) is a popular day-walk from Dove Lake. The bushwalk and views from the Cradle summit are even more picturesque on a clear winter day.
