It rained all night and i was completely fogged in when i exited my swag but surprisingly by the time i arrived at Carr Villa i had passed through the cloud and had a clear blue sky.
It was foggy again as i drove up Jacobs Ladder but cleared by the top.
I climbed to the summit and the cloud rose up to engulf the Ute but had cleared away by the time i got back to it.

By the time i got back to the Ute Jacobs Ladder had cleared then i headed cross country to 9 Mile Beach near Swansea and tried my luck at Aurora Australis again.

Unfortunately the clouds hid the Aurora and in the morning i headed up to Wineglass Bay where i did the 600 steps to the lookout but bailed on the extra 2000 steps down to the beach and back up.

I headed out to the nearby lighthouse where you can see the entrance into Wineglass Bay.
