An Alpine Lake, Driving along the AM Plansee Rd we came across the first of lakes in the mountains to the Austrian border with Germany. The Boat House showed the signs of higher water from seasons with more snow melt, having the green-roofed shed added to this tranquil scene. In distance you can see that not all the snow has melted yet on this May Day, and like everywhere else the weeds have started their spring ritual, adding a bit of contrast to the fresh green grass.

Sports prototype racing is about endurance, for the drivers, for the teams and for the companies involved. In this story we see the effort, the blood, the sweat and the tears, reputations won and lost, life and also death. The cars, some of the most evocative ever seen, are described in detail. We see stunningly beautiful, creative, slippery aerodynamic designs that allowed Alpine to take many class wins and outright victories in championship racing, and ultimately under Renault ownership a victory at Le Mans, which had been its target since 1963. You will feel the passion and dedication for racing from interviews with the men involved over 15 long years, illustrated with dramatic period and recent photographs.

Dodecatheon alpinum growing here along a stream with Saxifraga odontoloma (Brook saxifrage) which has the wide reniform (kidney-shaped) to orbicular leaves that are crenate-dentate (and which has the unraveling stems in the center with the shootingstar stems, and is also the plant with the white flowers to the far left). . Species is disjunct in northern Utah and somewhat rare here although is not a "tracked" species and has some scattered populations in different parts of the state.

Often quite elusive, however when one decides to perform it can be most obliging. This bird was completely unconcerned by our presence for nearly ten minutes !

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria 1994-5.
The history surrounding the grazing of this site can be traced from 1908 when DJ Cronin tendered 10 pounds per annum for grazing block 7 (lot 293, 13000 acres west of Wheelers Crk, parish Burrungabugge){ DCNR 63/121 LIMS 11/0}. A daughter, Margaret Cronin of Nariel was a later lessee. After the block was thrown open for tender in 1922, Cronin wrote of his father's pioneering of this area for grazing, having `cut his way into the hills with an axe before the Government made any roads. Are the children of the pioneers not entitled to any consideration..' WJ Hodgson & R Pendergast and later Arthur Hughes were lessees in the 1930s along with block 8. RJ Cardwell of Mitta Mitta had it in the 1940s{ ibid.}. The history of huts in the area includes Ralston's hut which was reputedly 500m downstream from this site, near Spillings Reef. Ralston was a gold miner and the lode named after him was `easily seen just up the spur behind the caves'{ Max Dyer, `Re Quartpot Hut'}. Another structure, Maloney's boarding house, was reputedly closer to the creek and remnants of it survived until recently. The Quart Pot Hut was one of two built for the Wombat Hydraulic Sluicing Co. in 1931-2, during the renewed interest in gold seeking caused by the Depression. One was burnt c1937 but this hut survived in part. It was once reputedly twice as long and served as a mess hut. When the grazing lease was held by James E & Charlie Matthews, they resolved to use the hut for shelter after initially using tents{ ibid. (does not match above lease history)}. Alfred G Dyer was the next lessee in 1942. Many years later in 1956, Dyer and his two sons (Max & Steve) repaired the hut by splitting new slabs for its walls, making it `really comfortable' for the remaining three years of their tenure{ ibid.}. These slabs were later used for firewood{ ibid., as of 1982}. A group of builders from Lang Lang led by David Williams and `Stretch’ Conger, rebuilt the hut In 1999, with the full support of Parks Victoria. They were inspired to see the hut after reading a publication by Max Dyer and finding the hut in disrepair { Carroll}.
