Mount Kosciuszko



After a fantastic day with Dayna and her family we hit the road again to Mount Kosciuszko.  With a small detour to Jervis Bay,

we arrived at Theredbo with just enough time to setup camp by the river before night fall.

The following morning we were up early to start our 22km walk around and up Mount Kosciuszko from Charlotte’s pass.

And yes the first aid kit did come in handy, when Mark developed busters on his feet. 

We even found some snow on the walk.

Once at the top we rested and informed the walk of our feat.

On our return to camp we stopped off for a well dissevered pint of Kosciuszko.

The evening was spent reading books and drink wine. Mark got his sunset and the locals came to say hello, even calling in to the tent next door for a cuppa.

The following morning we battled with strong winds whilst packing up camp and hit the road once again. This time on our way to Lake Eildon our New Year’s Eve venue and our last port of call before home. We arrived by 8pm and by 11pm were partying with the group next door until the early hours of the morning around their campfire. We had fireworks in the lake and a great sound system supplied by our car.
