Pink Mountain Berries
Given the limited time we had at Lake St Clair and the weather forecast, only the Platypus Bay Circuit Track was a reasonable hiking option. This track forms the final section of the Overland Track itself and traverses some interesting landscape anyway.
The alpine flora along the way was quite stunning, and nothing stood out as much as these gorgeous Pink mountain-berries (Cyathodes parvifolia). These beautiful pink berries only grow on the female plants. They are prized by birds who then help spread the seeds they contain.
