Above - This section of the track was burnt about 30 years ago when a well known local bushwalker lit a fire to burn toilet paper. The fire got away and burnt out a huge section of the Reserve. Its a lesson to see how slow the regeneration is.

Above - the Watersmeet - near Cynthia Bay - very close to the end of our most enjoyable walk.

At Cynthia Bay - we found the kiosk closed at 3pm in winter - so we postponed our showers and enjoyed some hot pies. Then after a nice hot shower at the nearby cabins - we walked to Derwent Bridge Hotel to wait by the fire for our bus to Hobart.
