Day 7



Above - Inside the kitchen of Bert Nichols Hut. This huge room was the only one with a heater (pot belly stove) - and it was hard to warm up. The bunk rooms were like fridges so we slept in the kitchen (like most other walkers seemed to do according to the logbook). The skylights leaked. The outer part of the hut (drying rooms) had windows with flyscreens and no glass - but the screens had been ripped open by possums - who seemed to have free reign of the hut. The purpose of the "artwork" in the kitchen was not clear to me.....

Col left us at this point - and walked to Narcissus and then to Cynthia Bay. He is a musician and had a gig on in a few days time that he was keen not to miss.
