Lake McCoy

by tas-man » Thu 12 Mar, 2009 11:13 am

Here are a few photos from my day out with the LWC last Monday. Perfect weather and magnificent views. Pictures tell the story. ENJOY!

: Walking in to Lake McCoy through the fern fields. (Click on the images to open them, then click again see them full size)

: The serene atmosphere of Lake McCoy where we had our lunch break.

: The magnificent panorama we enjoyed from the unnamed lookout on the edge of the escarpment above Lees Paddocks and the Mersey River, with many of the peaks of the Cradle Mt NP in view.

I'm a bit disappointed that I can't see any of the BWT strollers in that last photo. I think some were there that day. ;-)
