Today we drove to Thredbo and caught a chairlift. At the base of the mountain we were comfortably dressed in t-shirts. As the chairlift climbed higher the winds reached 70km/h and we were freezing. Once at the top we were all very glad that we packed jackets.
After walking 2km past the top of the chairlift we arrived at the Mt. Kosciuszko Lookout. The mountain in the middle of the pic below is Mt. Kosciuszko. If you look carefully you can see the brown crate track leading to the summit.
The kids were very happy to find snow...
We made it to the summit... a total of 6.5km hike from the top of the chairlift. Mt Kosciuszko is 2228m above sea level, the highest mountain in Australia. The water travels 500km from the top of the mountain out to the sea.
The 6.5km hike back down to the chairlift was much easier than the hike up.
13KM - AN ACCOMPLISHMENT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF... YEAH!
WELL DONE,it's great to see what you are doing
