We took the walk in early Autumn on March 26th 2002.  At the commencement of the walk, the sky was overcast and not looking too promising for good photos on arrival at the lake.  The shot above was taken when we arrived.  Things were very gloomy but provided  excellent effects for photos.  We headed around to the trees opposite and had lunch hoping for the weather to improve.  The breeze picked up a little and it became a little cold.  Within the hour the clouds cleared for a bright sunny and quite warm afternoon.  Jumpers were not needed on the walk.

 

 

 

View of the 'watery' plain taken from the rocky hill above the ruin of the old hut.  The track enters the edge of the escarpment just to the left of the small hill on the top left of the picture.  The mist is about to clear from Mother Cummings peak in the distance.  Lady Lake is just off to the left of the pencil pines in the foreground.  About a 5 minute walk.

The colours of the vegetation around the lake is a feature.  There is a wide variety of wild flowers,  We were a little late in the season for them to be at their best,
