| The peaks of the central part of the park, including Mt Ossa, Du Canes, Pelions, as seen from Cradle Mt. This was the first day of my walk, and the weather was superb. Taking photos is Chris from Germany, who I got to know as we walked further - 12th December 2012 |

| Barn Bluff seen from the Overland Track between Kitchen Hut and Waterfall Valley. The Barn Bluff track can be seen stretching along the ridge - 12th December 2012 |

| Barn Bluff from near the Waterfall Valley hut, as the sun sets behind it. Long summer days mean that you can dawdle along the track, sit on top of mountains, take photos or whatever you like, and still set up your tent before it gets dark. - 12th December 2012 |
