As always, beautiful views. We were unable to catch the sunset at Church of the Good Sheperd, but we did see lotsa stars :)

This was really stair master 101 disguised as a hike... And the route to Mueller Hut is straight up boulder scrambling, I did not last long at all LOL (thanks to the weather, definitely nothing to do with my mediocre fitness level...!)

Salmon Pie

Fairlie Bakehouse

Stopped by the famous Fairlie Bakehouse on the way to Burkes Pass and tried a bunch of pies! But obviously that's not enough and we ended up getting 4 more salmon pies and a cronut to takeaway 🤪
