A few pics below, mostly taken by Susanne.
This was a walking club trip, trip notice said things like:
24/12 nite - 28/12 Xmas Eve Escape & Mt Anne (yet another attempt)
1:100K Wedge & Old River, 1:25K Anne & Scotts
Susanne & I would like to have another go at Mt Anne as our Xmas escape. Ideally we'd like to do the circuit, but weather and group will determine the details. Trip pace cruisy. Philosophising, contemplation & photography encouraged. Reasonable fitness, sense of adventure, humour and 4 seasons gear required. Trip philosophy at http://www.ahack.org. We'll leave after work on Wed 24/12 and camp at Mt Field National Park camp ground from ~7.00pm onwards. Join us at camp either Wed nite or Thurs 9.00am for the start of the trip. Return to Hobart Sun 28/12 4.00 pm latest.
Draft trip report:
5 went. A most pleasant Xmas Eve at Mt Field NP camp ground was followed by 4 days of near perfect weather for the Mt Anne circuit. In our ususal fashion we didn't quite do things according to plan. 2 different camp spots between Mt Eliza and Mt Anne were enjoyed, one of them in a smallish cirque that even sported a mini glacier happily dripping away. 2 went to the top of Mt Anne. The next day 3 got as far as Mt Lot on their mission to do 'Lot's wife as a day trip', while 2 cruised around the plateau and avoided loss of composure attacks induced by boulders and steep mountain sides. Many nice pics were taken.
