Dawn At Lake Pedder

Having roughed it for a week…………4 of us in a Hiace campervan…………poor old Josh sleeping on the floor because the hire company had packed us off with two side awnings instead of a side and a rear sleepout, we decided to treat ourselves to a one-night stay in the chalets at Strathgordon.

The chalets were built to accommodate the workers at Strathgordon Dam, and the Park Rangers, but are also open to visitors. The en suite and central heating were a luxury, as was the delicious evening meal and a few bottles of wine and a continental brekky……….all in……….200 bucks for the 4 of us………..I recommend a stay to anyone heading that way.

I digress…………the morning was heavy with drizzle and despite the beauty of my surroundings, I was unable to capture it faithfully via conventional means due to the haze, so here’s my version of my morning walk there, the resulting image arrived at after buggering around with 4 filters, something which I have never tried before, as I have always found them rather naff…………but I rather like this (I think?)……….hope you do too…………..I’ll probably kick myself in a few days time and remove it…………and the filters :-)
