I is. One glorious evening and, as you can see, a slightly less glorious morning.

Not Jubilee. But again, right area. I'm only standing a few metres off a track.

if there's a track you must be somewhere on Mt Field. On the way to Mt field East?

I thiiiiiink I have an almost identical shot, albeit slightly earlier in the evening and with added smoke, taken shortly before being whisked away from Eldon Peak.

Nah, she spreads out her dramas. This one was the bushfires. I think the fire bombing was on Edith, wasn't it, nnw?

The end to the second visit to Eldon wasn't exactly a drama, it was just *&%$#! annoying. There was absolutely no need for it, although the ride was kind of fun.
Yes, fire-bombing was Edith. Still haven't been back. They may have given me some sort of complex ...

Where was I battling a gale that BoM hadn't warned me about last Friday?

Yeah, it was extremely frustrating, especially getting soaked trying to cross Falls Rivulet.
Not from falling in, just from the massive blast of spray one gust picked up. Finally gave up on Snowy Sth, got changed into camp thermals, and walked back out.
