Day 8 - January 22
With a a lot of bushfire smoke around - we decided to return as fast as
possible back to Pass Creek. We set off from Hanging Lake before 7 am.
The day was very windy (westerly winds - so the fire was blowing
towards us) and the temperature in Hobart that day was 39° C.

Federation peak just visible on the left and the Dial on the right. We
had a 4 hour lunch break at Pass Creek - sheltering in the shade from
the heat. This photo was taken just as we left to walk to Craycroft
Crossing about 5pm.
