Walk to the top of Mt Koscuisko
Today we caught the chairlift from Thredbo to Eagles Nest, then walked to the top of Kosciusko. It took 1 hr 40 minutes up and 1 hr and 1/2 back. The weather conditions were absolutely brilliant and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We had clear skies, warm temperatures and a light breeze. A really great walk!

Geehi River campground
Camping by the Geehi River about 30kms from Khancoban beyond Thredbo is just beautiful. Mind you...we didn't actually camp there...as you have to be happy with no running water (except the river), and therefore no showers, no power (except maybe solar?) nor anything else! But.....it is stunning :) .....as long as it is a lovely sunny and warm day!
Walk to Bullock's Hut along Thredbo River
Today we walked along Thredbo River to Bullock's Hut and looped back to The Diggings campsite on the Thredbo Road. It was the prettiest walk and very stress free! Alex and James are at Bullock's Hut which surprisingly was open and it appears you can actually still stay there in an emergency!

At Charlotte's Pass in 9 degrees!
With temperatures dropping after our walk we went to Charlotte's Pass for hot drinks and a quick walk to the lookout along the boardwalk. Stunning view, even on a day like this.
Waterfall walk from Sawpit Creek
This morning we drove up the Perisher Road to Sawpit Creek and walked the waterfall loop. This took us 1 hour 40 minutes taking an easy pace. We walked through heathland and tall alpine ash on the way to the waterfall and massive granite boulders on our return trip.
Another Snowy Mountains adventure in January 2013
We are back in the high country staying at Jindabyne overlooking the lake. Our first day we had the most beautiful sunset, ending a very hot day! Perfect for a quick swim in the lake and enjoying a BBQ on a balmy summer night.
