Күн бұрын

We visit Mt Kosciuszko, the highest peak in mainland Australia at 2228m. There are multiple trails to the summit but we chose the 13km return hike starting at the top of the Thredbo chairlift. The hike was relatively easy with a well-designated hiking path and a gentle ascent. Overall, we loved this hiking trip and we hope that you enjoy the vlog of our hike!

I did Charlotte,s pass during the summer months and it was beautiful,all so even though it was a long walk it was quite easy even for a pensioner.

That's the crackenback ski lift which takes you to the eagles nest, well, it did about 15 years ago.. Yes its a great walk, on a special raised board walk, this walk provides some of the best views in Australia, and OH, take a jumper with you, it can be frigin cold up there, even in mid summer. And when your'e done with the walk, and back at Thredbo, hop in your car and pop in for a night or two at Lake Crackenback Resort

I would say there would be a chance! Snakes like to sit out in the sun and warm on the rocks. But to be honest, they would most likely slither away before you saw them!

Curious as to how you got the drone shots you did? I thought all recreational drone use was forbidden inside the National Park? (not having a dig at all, I'm heading down there in a few weeks and would love to take mine for a flight)

@cjexplores Жыл бұрын

Hi Luke, it’s definitely not the most challenging, we agree. And we appreciate your recognition of the indigenous peoples. In our travels we have learnt that the British, Spanish, Portuguese, Scandinavians, ( as well as many more) have all decimated local populations around the world. Placing them under rule of their own leaders amongst other nasty behaviour.
