That was the plan. I had some things to do in Hobart that morning, so did not get to the start of the track till around 2:30. Crossed the river OK, and headed along the track to Gordonvale, the site of an old homestead. Just ruins now, but a good sheltered camp. I arrived on dusk, so I stayed the night, waking to persistent rain in the morning. Being paranoid about getting stuck on the wrong side of the Gordon, I bolted only to find that the river level hadn't changed. The waterfalls coming off the side of Mt Wright were a great site.
I climbed back to the car park in sun, and to avoid wasting the day, did a quick day walk to mt field east. Most of that walk was done in driving snow. I certainly had all four seasons that day, and didn;t regret my decision to bail out of Gordonvale.
Lake Rhona's most definitely still on the to do list - photos I've seen look quite beautiful.
Wello.
