TRIP REPORT:
Mt Anne in winter ... 'tis already been a season of mega rainfalls,
gales & snow ... gottabe crazy, don't you? Jo, Annette, Paul, Susanne &
Andreas went anyway, had great views, a fair amount of blue sky & sun,
and got to Mt Eliza hut just below the snow line. Some went further up
Mt Eliza, Paul actually went to the top. An enjoyable stay at the hut,
sharing dinner & breakfast while philosophising. Susanne & Andreas
camped out in the stormy night. Thanks everyone for the good company.
