A thrilling adventure out in the Australian wilderness - Mount Donaldson

A multi-day adventure deep within Sundown National Park, out to the summit of Mount Donaldson, via McAlisters Creek and return via the Severn River.
Sundown National Park is a rugged wilderness area of spectacular sharp ridges, steep-sided gorges and offers many remote hiking opportunities for the adventurer. The highest peak, Mount Donaldson is a spectacular mountain vista and is hidden deep within the park. The hike to Mount Donaldson is tough and should only be attempted by experiences hikers.
We passed by both Split Rock Falls and Double Falls and enjoyed both a late sunset and early sunrise on the summit with a secondary night out on the Severn river.
Shot entirely in S-Cinetone with the Sony ZV-E1 (16-35mm F4 PZ) and DJI Mini Pro 3.

The warmth from the sun after getting up to watch sunrise really is the best feeling.
